A Scottish-based specialist contractor has been fined nearly £54,000 after a worker died falling from a scissor lift in late 2022.

Despite emerging mandates for secondary guarding, contractors are advised to prioritise robust, task-specific risk assessments to prevent crushing and entrapment incidents.

Nationwide Platforms has launched SkySiren PCS for scissor lifts – a secondary guarding system designed to reduce the risk of entrapment for operators.
