Frequently Asked Questions
Work Safe NZ require users to where harnesses when in the basket of a cherrypicker or boom type lift. Prior to the use of a scissorlift, a Hazard Assessment of the site should be completed to decide on whether a harness system will be required to complete the job safely. Should the decision to use a harness be made, the harness should be attached to certified anchor points using a lanyard or adjustable lanyard, fitted with a short energy absorber or fit for purpose self retracting lifeline (SRL).
Accessman provide FREE harnesses for all Cherrypickers and Knucklebooms.
Accessman offer harnesses for hire on scissorlifts should they be required.
