www.safetyvide... If your employees use a scissor lift as part of their jobs then this scissor lift safety training video is a must see. Keeping your employees safe while using a scissor lift is important for you and for them.
In 20 plus years I have never been offered nor have I seen anyone take scissor lift training. Same goes for being allowed time to become familiar with a lift.
There are no standards for this, you would have to refer to what the lift manufacturer specifies, but as a general rule: unless authorized by the manufacturer, you cannot move a lift until you have lowered the scissors all the way down, to prevent tip-over and/or "catapult" effect.
Yes all the time. That's why you are "required" to have a spotter on the ground. I hang 6" pipe in the air all the time and drive with it in the air lol, its completely safe if you are aware of your surroundings and are within the weight limit of the lift.
Who ever watches this and is new in construction, please never tie off to a scissor lift. Even when the GC forces you to, just go home. It is not safe to tie off to a scissor lift for multiple reasons. Don't let the boots on the ground dictate your safety ( They are just covering their asses for insurance). There is a reason why OSHA does not require you to tie off in a scissor lift!!
What makes this a OSHA Video? The fact that it just says it in the title? I am trying to gather some content together but dont know how to find out if it is officially OSHA
Hi, this video teaches the principles that are contained in OSHA sections on Fall Protection as well as the ANSI sections pertaining to Powered Lifts. You can see Sections 29 CFR 1926.451(g) or 29 CFR 1910.29(a)(3)(vii)) of the OSHA standard. Those are the principles discussed in the video. If you want something direct from OSHA take a look at www.osha.gov/etools/scaffolding/scissor-lifts
