Details to have ready
- The job address and a site contact
- The actual height of the work or material placement point
- Whether the task is directly overhead or offset from the practical base position
- The floor or ground along the route into the work area
- The narrowest door, gate, aisle, turn, or overhead point
- The people, tools, material, or load involved
For exterior work
Describe the route from the entry point to the work area and any condition that could change the plan. The selected unit’s instructions and the site procedure govern the final approach.
Call with the task in mind
A clear work description helps separate a vertical-access need from an outreach or material-placement need. It also makes it easier to identify when a scissor lift, boom lift, telehandler, forklift, or compact mast lift should be the starting category.
