Controls shall be plainly marked as to their function. Lower level controls shall not be operated unless permission has been obtained from the employee in the lift, except in case of emergency: Identity Services LLC, Geneva Commons job site: on or about February 3, 2017, employees working at height in the confined bell tower from the Elliott HI Reach model ECL 3 55 CH aerial lift's platform (basket) were exposed to injury as the platform leveling (tilt) toggle switch on the upper controls was incorrectly marked with its function reversed.
