Skyjack Safety

A scissor lift is a particular type of industrial equipment which is utilized for "positioning personnel, their equipment and their tools," according to Skyjack. Anybody who is preparing to operate this particular type of equipment should familiarize themselves with the suggested operational and safety measures suggested by the manufacturer in order to stay safe prior to attempting to use this particular machine. It could be devastating to any bystanders and the operator themselves causing serious injuries if the safety measures are not followed.



Area

In the best situation, scissor lifts work at optimum levels on totally level ground. The area has to be inspected and cleared of any loose debris prior to driving a scissor lift over a certain terrain. In order to lessen the possibility of the scissor lift tipping over and probably causing the driver to fall from his seat. It is better to avoid steep grades or holes while operating. Bystanders should also remain aware and avoid the operating scissor lift so as to ensure they do not get run over.



Inspection

Prior to attempting to use a scissor lift, the user must carefully inspect all the important parts of the machinery. The operator could see if all the components are functioning properly before the task is initiated, a functional test is performed while the lift is retracted. It is better to perform a daily inspection on this machine prior to starting the shift and several places even want an inspection to happen at the end of the shift as well. Various businesses have various policies in place to maintain safety.



Part of the inspection needs to be inspecting the tires. These components obviously add to the movability of the scissor lift and also provide the equipment with a solid foundation. A tire that is worn or faulty could blow and throw the operator from their location on top of scissor lift.
