aerial lift hazards

Scissor lifts, while invaluable for accessing elevated work areas, pose significant hazards that operators must be vigilant about. Key risks include falls due to unstable ground conditions, potential collisions from other machinery or structures, and the dangers associated with not adequately securing the lift during operation. Additionally, improper use such as overloading the platform, failing to use appropriate personal protective equipment, and a lack of thorough training and communication can lead to serious accidents. It’s crucial to maintain awareness of these hazards to ensure the safety of all personnel involved in scissor lift operations.
