Are scissor lifts safe? - aakash engineers

A Scissor table lift is absolutely safe to use when it is designed and manufactured considering safety hazards. When used as per the manual, it helps to get the job done at a raised height. When not used properly, it can cause serious injury to workers. The most common accident that can occur is, a worker falling off a platform from a height. This generally happens when the ground level is unstable or weather conditions are adverse. Other safety hazards are equipment collapsing, electrocution, and accident with another moving object. Be aware of where the lift is elevated, like electric wiring, uneven ground, moving vehicles, etc. Many scissor platforms come with guard rails as safety barriers to ensure workers’ safety. The safest way of using the lift is going by the manual.
