What does a working aloft chit authorize?

A working aloft chit specifically authorizes work to be performed at heights, ensuring that safety protocols are followed when personnel are elevated above ground level. When personnel are required to work on high structures, such as masts, antennas, or other elevated equipment, this chit acts as a formal authorization that includes safety measures and identifies the type of work being conducted.

By requiring this authorization, it ensures that proper precautions are taken to safeguard personnel against the heightened risks associated with working at such elevations. This can include the use of harnesses, safety lines, and other protective equipment. Additionally, having a working aloft chit signals to other crew members that an operation is taking place at heights and helps to maintain awareness of personnel on-site, contributing to overall safety in the working environment.
