do employees require scissor lift training
Yes, employees require training to operate scissor lifts. When using self-propelled elevating aerial platforms, scissor lifts, the manufacturer's operating manual must be with the equipment, and all operating and maintenance instructions and recommendations of the manufacturer must be followed [1]. Employers must ensure that each operator is trained, certified/licensed, and evaluated before operating any equipment covered under Subpart CC [2]. Training must include sufficient formal and practical instruction to ensure the operator develops the skills, knowledge, and ability to recognize and avert risk necessary to operate the equipment safely [3].
Important Safety Note:
Always verify safety information with your organization's specific guidelines and local regulations.
