I have been asked to produce RAMS for a Low-Level Powered Access (Scissor Lift), in my opinion the staff would require some form of formal training such as IPAF to operate these. i contacted the plant hire company and they stated i quote “The lift on the attachment is a push around scissor you do not need any competencies to operate that bit of kit, If it was electric you would need a IPAF Ticket”
In my opinion the Low-Level Powered Access (Scissor Lift) is still powered by electric to go us and down and the risks that are involved are the same as any other larger scissor lift, am I right in thinking that my staff should have some form of training?

PUWER applies here, you are providing staff with new equipment and the employer must ensure staff are trained and competent in its use.
