Posted By Chris Knagg D.5.2 Personnel The payload of the carrier should not be exceeded. The stability of the carrier should not be affected by the operation. Additional care should be taken if the carrier is of a length that could lead to excessive tilting through movement of persons or tools within the carrier. Persons in carriers should fasten safety harness onto the personnel baskets, if the carrier could tip up (e.g. if it becomes entangled or during lowering to the ground). Any tools/materials in the carrier should be secured to prevent displacement, tipping and/or falling out. Personnel should remain entirely inside the carrier during raising, lowering and positioning to avoid pinch points. Personnel should not stand on or work from any handrail, intermediate guard rail or toe board of the carrier. Carriers should be secured so that access and egress can be accomplished without danger. BS 7121-3:2000 Code of practice for safe use of cranes. Part 3: Mobile cranes Man baskets are for carrying people. and small tools and generally speaking not for lifting additional loads as well. You should consult with your Appointed person about the specifics of the task (Lifting operation) you are trying to achieve. It is their responsibility to plan the lift. In my experience, other than the lifting points for attaching the basket to the crane, man baskets do not come with additional lifting points for loads outside the basket. Whilst you have not been specific in what you are trying to achieve, I would suggest that further assessment is required in respect of the Lifting Operation and Working at Height.
