Course Overview

The Aerial Lift (Boom Lift / Scissor Lift) Operator Safety Course provides OSHA-compliant training for workers who operate, inspect, or work around aerial lifts in construction, manufacturing, warehousing, maintenance, and other industries.

Aerial lifts offer a safer alternative to ladders when working at height—but they also present significant hazards if not operated correctly. This course covers pre-operation inspection, safe driving and maneuvering techniques, fall protection, hazard prevention, and emergency procedures.

Upon successful completion, you can download and print your certificate of completion as proof of training for your employer or safety manager.
