Scissor Lift Training

Scissor lifts, which are commonly used to move goods in a vertical direction, enable operators to complete the jobs faster and more securely without the setup time of other equipment, such as scaffolding or a tower, and without the dangerous instability of a ladder.

The correct training is required for your staff to safely operate and handle the Scissor Lift, as well as knowledge of how to correctly use and wear the safety harnesses, in order to reduce the risk of falls. All of these are necessary in order for you to be compliant with the working at height regulations 2005.
