Rank: Super forum user		I'm trying to find out the exclusion zone area required when operating a scissor lift. Looked at HSE site and it just says you need 1, spoken to the hire company and they say it's not down to them, Is there a formula for size of exclusion zone? Or is it whatever I deem best practice?
