Aerial Lifts in Construction Environments

What is Aerial Lifts in Construction Environments?

The Aerial Lifts in Industrial & Construction Environments course gives workers a clear, practical understanding of how to use and work safely around aerial lifts in busy construction and industrial settings. Learners review the main lift types, the training required for operators, and the essential pre-start and worksite inspections that keep equipment functioning safely.
The program also breaks down common hazards like falls, tip-overs, electrical contact, and overhead obstacles while teaching the correct procedures for setup, operation, and movement. Ground workers gain guidance on maintaining safe distances and staying alert to lift activity, helping prevent incidents and improving job site productivity.

Course Overview

Aerial lifts are essential for reaching elevated work areas, but improper operation or lack of awareness can lead to serious accidents. Aerial Lifts in Industrial and Construction Environments provides workers with the knowledge they need to use and work safely around aerial lifts of all types.

This course explains the different types of lifts, outlines the training required for operators, and details how to conduct “pre-start” and “worksite” inspections. Learners explore common hazards such as falls, tip-overs, and overhead obstacles, and discover how to set up, operate, and move aerial lifts safely. The program also covers best practices for working on the ground near an aerial lift to prevent incidents and protect surrounding workers.

Delivered through a mix of video, audio, text, and graphics, this course helps employees retain key safety information while ensuring compliance with industry regulations.

Topic Overview

Aerial lifts are widely used across construction and industrial sites for maintenance, installation, and repair tasks. However, safe operation requires proper training and awareness of both environmental and mechanical risks. This course builds foundational knowledge of aerial lift safety practices, helping workers stay alert, reduce risk, and comply with workplace safety standards.
