The increasing use of scissor lifts in construction projects has contributed to improved efficiency and accessibility for work at height. However, improper operation, inadequate inspections, and insufficient operator competency may increase the risk of workplace accidents. Therefore, the implementation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) is essential to ensure safe and effective scissor lift operations. This study aimed to evaluate the implementation of SOPs for scissor lift operations at PT Puri Anjasmoro Indonesia, focusing on pre-operational inspections, operational and emergency procedures, and operator competency in supporting occupational safety. A qualitative descriptive approach with an evaluative design was employed. Data were collected through direct observations, document reviews, and semi-structured interviews with operators and safety personnel. The collected data were analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis involving data reduction, categorization, interpretation, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that pre-operational inspections were consistently conducted before equipment use, operational and emergency procedures were implemented in accordance with established safety requirements, and all observed operators possessed valid certifications and had participated in occupational safety training programs. These findings indicate that the integration of preventive inspections, standardized operational procedures, and competent operators contributes significantly to reducing operational risks and enhancing workplace safety performance. The study implies that construction companies should strengthen routine inspections, continuous safety training, and regulatory compliance to maintain safe scissor lift operations. The originality of this study lies in its integrated evaluation of technical, procedural, and human factors affecting scissor lift safety within an actual construction environment, providing practical evidence for improving occupational safety management in construction projects.
