碩士 === 國立高雄第一科技大學 === 環境與安全衛生工程所 === 93 === Work at height is a common operating pattern of engineering. To enable people work at height, a temporary construction, named Scaffolds, is usually built to afford workers and materials. In recent years, the foreign countries had developed the “aerial working platform” to replace the scaffolds which are time-wasting and risky. However, the corresponding laws of aerial working platform are not completed in our country. Besides, the specifications of the construction are not available either. Therefore, it is not secure to use the equipment under lacking of the complete management for safety. In this thesis, the strategies of choosing aerial working platform in different situations are proposed. The actively self-safety management is also introduced to prevent the vocational accident. After all, a rule of safety management for using the aerial working platform is established to be followed. In this research, the specifications of the manufactured Aerial working platforms are firstly evaluated to fit the operating mode. Secondly, the laws and standards of the advanced countries are compared with the domestic rules. In Japan, there are completed laws and detail specifications and prescript of the occupational safety and health facilities for Aerial working platform. The aerial working platform manufacturer are demanded to obey the domestic standards in America and to provide detail operating directions in user’s menu, According to the construction of the aerial working platform, the main concerns of purchase are listed. In order to finish job quickly, the boom-supported elevating work platform is suggested. The safety of operating the platform could never be ignored. The operating procedures and manipulating standards, which are specified by the laws, are provided in the certain platform’s menu and discussed in a specified chapter. For the other types of platform, not only the user’s menu from manufacturer should be obeyed, but also the experience of the master should be learned. Taking the special conditions into account, the accident could be avoided by preventing improper operation. With more serious consideration, the conclusions of this research are made to be followed by the enterprises and to be adopted by the managers. Though there are several different operating mode of work at height, the main idea of this paper is to proper choose a flexible, high performance aerial working platform such that ease and safe can be both achieved. Therefore, the user’s confidence could be established through the professional safety management facilities. With serious standards, the space for wildcatter would no more exist.
