Has anyone been through this one? - Vehicle tail lift (vans) with someone stood on it as it elevates is obviously working at height under the definition in the regulations. Although only a few feet, it could not be argued that they could not be injured if they fell off.
How do tail lifts comply with work at height regs when there is no edge protection or no means of preventing someone falling off and what would be a safe system of work for using a tail lift in compliance with the regs.
Any constructive comments or information much appreciated. Ta!!

I have dealt with this issue with HGV's - we had removable rails fabricated with fixing points on the tail lift itself, this was for the sides - the front of the tail lift had adjustable ramps which stood to an up position of about a foot to stop any load falling off the front. The operator stood behind the secured load in a safe position.
We had to run the design past our insurers ref the Equipment Policy as the tails lift were subject to TE's under LOLER - did not want to effect any integrity……………...
