How to Safely Use Scissor Lifts?

How to Safely Use Scissor Lifts?

A scissor lift is an aerial work platform distinguished by its scissor-like mechanism. As per OSHA, scissor lifts are technically mobile scaffolding that moves vertically.

With any heavy-duty equipment comes safety hazard. We can prevent these through proper training and strict adherence to safety protocols. 

In this industrial safety video, we see how positioning scissor lifts too close to an overhead electrical line can lead to severe injuries and even death. This is a result of inadequate training of workers to identify electrical hazards. The incident recreation video also shows preventive measures to be taken to avoid such accidents. 

Here are some more safety measures to follow when working with scissor lifts: 

  1. It is essential to operate the scissor lift under optimal weather conditions, ensuring there are no strong winds that may pose a safety risk.
  2. The lift should be used on a stable surface, minimizing the chances of tipping over. 
  3. Regular inspection and maintenance of the lifting mechanisms are crucial to prevent any potential collapse or malfunction.
