Whats the latest take on tying off inside a scissors lift with railings?
No change. Guardrails should provide fall protection to a properly used scissors lift user. The problem comes leaning over railings. In this case additional FP is required. I have proposed a 5ft high post in the opposite diagonals of the lift for up to two workers. Some advocate floor anchorages that are a lot easier but has many drawbacks. Geometry is helpful to foresee particular scenarios and predict the outcomes. Manufacturers may not wish to consider this and may not support a Z359.1 testing program to ensure functionality. The user management has the responsibility to cut through this and make the right decision. If you would like to have the program reviewed, please send me your proposal for a particular model.
