Aerial Lift Safety Training

This course ensures your operators are properly trained to safely use aerial lifts, including boom and scissor lifts. Operators will review key factors such as lift stability, responsibilities, and the correct use of personal protective equipment (PPE), if required by your company. Hands-on instruction includes pre-shift inspections, job site evaluations, and proper lift operation for any equipment used at your facility.

In addition to the coverage of aerial lift safe operating procedures, your trainer will review ANSI standards, classroom preparation and procedures for performing a hands-on evaluation.

The training class comes with a video kit to best match your equipment, which contains class training materials. Additional training materials are available for purchase.

Aerial lifts are useful for many applications, being found in warehouse settings or a construction site. Like other powered industrial trucks, training is vital to keep operators and product safe. Training is the responsibility of the employer and must:

• Be provided by the employer prior to operation at the job site
  Instruct operators about unsafe conditions and the elimination of hazards in the work area
• Give general instructions regarding the inspection, application and operation of the aerial equipment
• Provide training on each unique make and model of aerial lift
• Be refreshed every 4 years
