Description

Scissor Lifts and Aerial Lifts are utilized for many activities in both the general industry and construction. While using aerial lifts is generally a safer way to perform tasks at heights compared to using a ladder, they can also be very dangerous and costly for untrained operators not aware of the hazards involved in the operation and functionality of the machines. 

This 1-day certification course will educate individuals in the safe operation of scissor and aerial lifts per OSHA and ANSI standards. Participants will receive both classroom training along with hands-on operation of scissor and aerial lifts.
