We go to your location and provide your employees with the required aerial lift & scissor lift training and we do fall protection training with each class.
An aerial lift is any vehicle-
• Extendable boom platforms,
• Aerial ladders,
• Articulating (jointed) boom platforms,
• Vertical towers, and
• Any combination of the above.
Aerial lifts have replaced ladders and scaffolding on many job sites due to their mobility and flexibility. They may be made of metal, fiberglass reinforced plastic, or other materials. They may be powered or manually operated, and are considered to be aerial lifts whether or not they can rotate around a primarily vertical axis. Many workers are injured or killed on aerial lifts each year.
The following hazards, among others, can lead to personal injury or death:
• Fall from elevated level,
• Objects falling from lifts,
• Tip-
• Ejections from the lift platform,
• Structural failures (collapses),
• Electric shock (electrocutions),
• Entanglement hazards,
• Contact with objects, and
Only trained and authorized persons are allowed to operate an aerial lift. Training should include:
• Recognizing and avoiding unsafe conditions in the work setting;
• Instructions for correct operation of the lift (including maximum intended load and load capacity);
• Demonstrations of the skills and knowledge needed to operate an aerial lift before operating it on the job;
• When and how to perform inspections; and
• Manufacturer’s requirements.
