The current industry standard is to have a fall arrest plan when working at heights over 6′ (or lower if a significant hazard exists below 6′)

Safety when working at heights is important in all circumstances including

• scissor lifts
• booms
• ladders
• scaffolding

It is important to inspect your lift equipment and safety equipment.  You must wear a CSA-approved harness when working at heights.  The harness is connected to a shock-absorbing lanyard, which is connected to a sturdy piece of metal or designated hook on the lift equipment.
