This 90-minute OSHA-compliant aerial lift training covers safe boom and scissor lift operation, stability, inspections, and hazard prevention.

Aerial Lifts in Industrial and Construction Environments: Working With and Around a Lift

What is Aerial Lifts in Industrial and Construction Environments: Working With and Around a Lift?

Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) are widely used to access elevated work areas, but safe operation requires more than just basic equipment knowledge. This course provides workers with the essential skills to inspect, operate, and work safely around aerial lifts in industrial and construction environments.

Learners will explore how to assess both the equipment and the job site before use, prepare MEWPs for operation, and follow proper procedures for raising, moving, and lowering platforms. The training also highlights the hazards associated with working near aerial lifts such as overhead obstructions, unstable surfaces, and moving equipment and how to prevent incidents through awareness and safe positioning.

Course Overview

Working safely with and around aerial lifts requires attention, preparation, and knowledge of both equipment and environment. Aerial Lifts in Industrial and Construction Environments: Working With and Around a Lift gives employees the essential training needed to operate aerial lifts safely and comply with OSHA and ANSI standards.

Participants learn how to inspect both the aerial lift and the surrounding job site before use, prepare equipment properly, and follow correct procedures for raising and lowering platforms. The course also explains how to recognize hazards associated with working near aerial lifts, such as overhead obstructions, falling objects, and tip-over risks.

Aligned with OSHA standards 1926.453, 1910.67, and related ANSI A92 requirements, this course ensures that workers understand their safety responsibilities when operating or working close to Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs).

Topic Overview

Aerial lifts are indispensable for many industrial and construction tasks but can be hazardous without proper training and supervision. This course reinforces how thorough inspections, safe work practices, and situational awareness help prevent injuries and property damage. Workers will leave with the confidence to use aerial lifts safely and to maintain awareness when others are operating them nearby.

Course Topics
