During my legal career, I’ve handled multiple serious injury cases involving scissors lifts. Too often, lifts are operated with practically no safety training or safety planning. In almost every single case I’ve reviewed, training, planning, or both, were inadequate. Lifts can easily topple from weather conditions, uneven ground or due to being struck by other moving equipment. The resulting injuries are usually devastating due to the fall distance. Where other means are available of accomplishing the task, I would opt for them.
