Scissor Lifts

Q: Do you need to wear a fall arrest harness when working in a scissor lift that that has a guardrail system around it?
A: No, you do not need to wear a fall arrest harness when working in a scissor lift if it has a proper guardrail system around it.  However, if the guardrail system is less than adequate, or the worker leaves the safety of the work platform, an additional fall protection device would be required.
