The main idea is recognizing hazards that require stopping a personnel lift to protect workers. Bad weather can create dangerous wind, rain, or lightning conditions that affect stability and control. Electrical hazards pose a direct risk of electrocution if the lift comes too close to energized lines. Ground instability can compromise the platform’s foundation and lead to tipping or failure. The absence of tag lines does not by itself create an immediate safety risk for a personnel lift; tag lines are associated with controlling loads on other types of equipment and aren’t a standard trigger to stop MEWP operations. So, the condition that is not a valid reason to stop is the lack of tag lines.
