Case Study: In March 2018, an employee in Concord, California, was sanding drywall while elevated on a scissor lift. The employee fell approximately 6 feet from the scissor lift to a concrete surface and was killed. The scissor lift was missing a toprail.
Key Takeaway: Even falls from a seemingly short distance can be fatal. Guardrails are the primary means of fall prevention on a scissor lift and are required to be in place and operational. The time it takes to make sure your worksite is safe is time well spent.
