Aerial Work Platform Training

Aerial Work Platform

Aerial work platform accidents can cause serious injury to employees and significant damage to property. Before any employee operates a scissor lift, boom lift, or other aerial lift, OSHA requires they complete an approved aerial work platform operator training course—like the ones we offer.

Our cost-effective, comprehensive programs teach participants everything they need to know to stay safe while working at height, including:

  • Proper pre-use inspections

  • Safe operation and maneuvering

  • Load capacity awareness

  • Fall protection requirements

  • Hazard recognition and avoidance

  • Emergency lowering procedures

Make sure you comply with OSHA and help your employees return home safely every day with our aerial work platform training courses.

Each year, thousands of workplace accidents and injuries occur while using aerial lifts. According to safety research, operator error is the leading cause of these incidents. The best way to protect your employees is through proper operator and safety training.

OSHA requires that all persons who operate aerial work platforms be certified before use, and re-certified at least every three (3) years. Additional training is required if an operator is involved in an accident, observed using equipment unsafely, or when workplace conditions change. OSHA has issued substantial fines for companies that fail to provide training, conduct daily inspections, or maintain documentation of compliance.
