Aerial Lifts in Industrial and Construction Environments: Types of Lifts and Their Hazards

What is Aerial Lifts in Industrial and Construction Environments: Types of Lifts and Their Hazards?

Aerial lifts make working at height faster and more efficient but only when they’re used safely and in compliance with industry standards. This course gives workers a clear understanding of the different types of aerial lifts, how they operate, and the regulations that govern their safe use.

Learners explore key OSHA and ANSI requirements, common hazards such as tip-overs, falls, and electrical contact, and the preventive measures needed to reduce risk. The training also highlights daily inspections, safe operating practices, and the fundamentals of effective aerial lift safety programs.

By the end of this course, participants will know how to identify lift hazards, apply safe-use procedures, and meet the regulatory expectations for working at elevated heights.

Course Overview

Aerial lifts are a vital tool in industrial and construction work, but they also present significant risks when used improperly. Aerial Lifts in Industrial and Construction Environments: Types of Lifts and Their Hazards gives workers the knowledge they need to operate aerial lifts safely and in compliance with OSHA and ANSI standards.

This course introduces the different types of aerial lifts and how they function, outlining the requirements of key regulations including OSHA 1926.453, 1910.67, and related ANSI A92 standards. Learners gain a clear understanding of how these standards impact design, operation, and maintenance practices for aerial lifts. The training also covers how to identify hazards such as electrical contact, tip-overs, and falls—and how to prevent them through safe use programs and regular inspection.

By the end of this course, participants will know how to recognize aerial lift hazards, implement safe use procedures, and comply with applicable regulatory standards for elevated work.

Topic Overview

Working safely with aerial lifts requires not only hands-on skill but also regulatory awareness. This course helps workers and supervisors understand how OSHA and ANSI standards guide the safe use of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs). It also explains how to build and maintain a strong safety culture by identifying hazards and implementing preventive controls in industrial and construction environments.
