Scissor lift/cherry picker
« on: March 12, 2012, 02:40:43 pm »
Hi all,do I actually need a license or proof of training to use one of the above?
It is literally for half a days work inside.
I know there are all sorts of courses IPAF etc etc,but is it law that I have to have these qualifications?
Thanks

yes, there was a topic not long back about it, we have one and you do need it to use it, its around 150 - 200 for course and takes about a day,

you "drive it" from the basket so you need someone in the basket that is trained depends where you hire from a lot of people wont ask to see and depends where your working some site managers wont ask.

at the end of the day is it worth taking the risk
