Description
Scissor lifts provide an effective means of accessing areas at height, while offering collective control measures to reduce the risk of falls.
Under UK health and safety legislation, including the Work at Height Regulations 2005, employers are required to carry out a suitable and sufficient risk assessment for the use of scissor lifts. This assessment must consider risks to operators as well as others who may be affected by the activity.
This document (10 pages in total) provides a comprehensive risk assessment covering the use of scissor lifts in both indoor and outdoor environments. It identifies typical hazards, those at risk, and appropriate control measures, using a structured risk matrix with numerical scoring. The assessment follows the Health and Safety Executive’s five-step approach to risk assessment.
The document is supplied in a fully editable Word format, allowing it to be easily adapted to suit specific sites, tasks, and equipment, saving time while supporting consistent and professional health and safety management.
