BeaconTechnology.com Tip: Scissor lifts are a huge help for maintenance, construction and repairs, but if your new hires are unfamiliar with the safety issues regarding scissor lifts, there are a few things you will need to stress.

Seasoned workers will know never to travel to the work area with a raised lift. Do your new employees understand why? Your new hires will also need to know the tolerances for raising the lift in wind conditions--how much wind is too much? If you don't know the answer, consult the operators manual or call your customer service rep to find out; it could mean a big difference in the safety margin of your next operation.

If you are operating scissor lifts adjacent to traffic, the lift will need the correct work zone protection, including barriers, warning signs, etc.
