DO I NEED TO WEAR A HARNESS IN A SCISSOR LIFT?

The EWPA (Elevating Work Platform Association) suggests that safety harnesses are not required on scissor lifts unless a hazard assessment shows there is a risk of falling.

Eg: Over-reaching.
(Over-reaching is when the upper body goes beyond the handrails, and the centre of gravity moves from inside to outside the platform causing the operator to fall.)

All tasks involving the use of EWP's should be planned and hazard identification must be carried out.

Manufacturers are not required to fit certified harness attachment points on scissor lifts, as per the build standard AS/NZS1418.10.

This is a clear indication that providing the EWP is used and maintained as per the manufacturer’s recommendations, there is no requirement for a harness to be worn.

The platform guard and hand rails are the primary source of fall protection for operators.
