Common questions
Do scissor lift operators need fall protection?
Usually the guardrails are the fall protection on a scissor lift, but boom lift operators must wear a body harness tied to the lift's anchor.
Can you train on a rental lift?
Yes. We train and evaluate on whatever lift you have on site.
