We have a fixed scissor lift in our enclosed loading bay to allow the easy delivery / dispatch of pallets etc. As we are a secure site, none of our employees are allowed in the bay while loading / unloading takes place and the delivery driver / helper are locked in while the rear of the truck is open. All deliveries are pre booked by at least 24 hours, so we always know who will be on site and in what vehicle. Most drivers have their own tail lifts but some are using our scissor lift, in particular thoses coming from other EU countries. There is currently no signage or restriction on how this is used, but the lift is maintained and has a thorough examination every 6 months. My initial view was to ask for the scissor lift to be removed and to ask the delivery companies to ensure that all vehicles had their own tail lift, but would appreciate your comments.

I dont know what you want either? Is it with regards to using the lift? Perhaps put up some signs, and issue instruction on use, or just take it out of use?

I would not remove the scissor lift. From what you describe this is a fixed in position piece of equipment. onto to which delivery vehicles reverse. It is not complicated to use at all. simple up and down controls and perhaps some guarding around the moving parts. Removing it will cause more H&S issues than those you are currently worried for. I would have clear instructions displayed and perhaps send a little more information on the use and possible risks to the companies that come to deliver to your site so that they can cascade the info to their employees. Also supervise use of the equipment and ensure to emphasise reporting of any issues experienced.
