Scissor lifts
Scissor lifts present a number of risks to workers, including falls from elevation and working near overhead power lines. Crush injuries can occur if the lift contacts a roof or overhead structure. There is also a risk of tilting and collapsing when operating on soft or uneven ground, on slopes, or in high winds. See our resources for information on working safely with scissor lifts.
