so it does seem that a harness is not required on a true scissor lift, with all rails intact and the chain across the entry.I guess nobody wants to be the guy who recommends that their company take that bit out of their safety policy..Jason[/quote]
Actually, where I work if it is a multipassanger scissor-lift the passanger is required to wear a harness. The driver does not need a harness.

John et al..
The written regulations regarding Scissor Lifts are very specific, although they are hard to find in the Osha Specs. Please note that the regulations DO NOT forbid anyone from using a Harness, except when a user would tie-off to another structure while still being tied off to the Scissor Lift.
A Contracting Company or their Customer can insist that Harnesses be worn while anyone is using a Scissor lift on their Job or Property. They have the right to additions to the standard Osha Regulations unless it is specifically addressed and Prohibited.
