Interesting that you mention scissor lifts. According to Saskatchewan OH&S regulations as soon as I step on a scissor lift, which puts me at about 5' off the ground, I have to be wearing a safety harness and tied off. Obviously, one can assume at some point that I'll be moving and elevated higher. But I could simply work off the scissor lift without ever moving it or elevating higher. Maybe someone else moved it (while I stood nearby) and the non-elevated platform is a convenient height to work from. Yet according to Sask. OH&S regulations I can stand on a 6' high rolling scaffold without guard rails or safety harness?
Thanks for all the comments. Interesting to hear that the rolling scaffold's inherent danger is universally understood and recognized when used without fall protection or guard rails.
