SCISSOR LIFT
SAFETY
YAWAR HASSAN KHAN

                    1
•   Incident
•   During the Fall 2010 college football season, a student
•   who was also an employee of the University of Notre
•   Dame was killed while filming the school’s football
•   team practice from a scissor lift. A scissor lift is a
•   portable, hydraulic-powered lift with a platform that
•   can be raised into the air directly above the base.
•   Reportedly, the worker, who had not been trained to
•   properly operate the scissor lift, raised the lift over 39
•   feet into the air to film the practice. The wind gusts that
•   day were more than 50 miles per hour. The high winds
•   blew the lift over, killing the worker.




                                                                  2
•   Hazards
•   Organizations that have workers, including students
•   who are employees, who use scissor lifts to film
•   events and functions must address the hazards associated
•   with this equipment. These hazards can
•   include:
•   • The lift falling over or a worker slipping off the
•   platform if the lift is:
•   • used during bad weather or high winds
•   • positioned on soft or uneven ground, or on weak
•   utility covers (e.g., underground sprinkler valve
•   boxes)
•   • overloaded with heavy objects
•   • used with guardrails removed
•   • driven over uneven, unstable ground, or surface
•   in poor condition, with the lift in an elevated
•   position, or
•   • used with brakes that are not properly set
•   • A worker being electrocuted if the lift makes contact
•   with electrical lines                                      3
• How to Reduce Hazards
• • Establish and follow safe work practices that
• include, but are not limited to:




                                                    4
•   Inspecting controls and components before use
•   • Selecting work locations with firm and level
•   surfaces away from hazards that can cause the
•   lift to be unstable (e.g., drop-offs or holes, slopes,
•   bumps or ground obstructions, or debris)




                                                             5
• Selecting work locations that are clear of electrical
• power sources (e.g., power lines, transformers) by at least 10 feet – and other
  overhead hazards
• (e.g., other utilities, branches, overhangs, etc.)
• Operating lifts only during weather conditions that
• are safe for use (e.g., not in high winds, rain, snow,
• sleet, etc.)
• • Moving the lift to/from a work location safely, with
• the lift lowered, unless following safe practices
• allowed by the manufacturer
• • Setting the breaks and stabilizing the lift before
• raising it
• • Ensuring that the lift is not overloaded
• • Working safely from the lift (e.g., do not remove
• guardrails or stand on them for extra height)
• • Reporting problems and malfunctions



                                                                                    6
•   Train workers on, and make sure workers follow,
•   established safe work practices and manufacturers’
•   recommendations for operating scissor lifts safely
•   • Allow only trained workers to use scissor lifts, and
•   make sure those workers show they can use a scissor
•   lift properly
•   • Make sure that the scissor lift has a guardrail system
•   that protects workers from falling, and
•   • Test, inspect, and maintain scissor lifts according to
•   the manufacturer’s recommendations




                                                               7
•   Worker Rights
•   Workers have the right to:
•   • Working conditions that do not pose a risk of
•   serious harm.
•   • Receive information and training (in a language
•   and vocabulary they understand) about workplace
•   hazards, methods to prevent them, and the OSHA
•   standards that apply to their workplace.
•   • Review records of work-related injuries and
•   illnesses.
•   • Get copies of test results done to find and measure
•   hazards.
•   • File a complaint asking OSHA to inspect their
•   workplace if they believe there is a serious hazard
•   or that their employer is not following the OSHA
•   rules. When requested, OSHA will keep all
•   identities confidential.
•   • Use their rights under the law without retaliation
•   or discrimination.
