Aerial Lift Train the Trainer (OSHA)
Vehicle-mounted aerial lifts are a go-to piece of equipment across US worksites, giving workers safe, efficient access to heights of up to 100 feet for utility work, road maintenance, sign installation, and more. When training is incomplete or poorly delivered, the consequences can be serious, including tip-overs, falls from height, and electrical incidents that put operators and those around them at risk. That's where a knowledgeable, well-prepared trainer makes all the difference. This course covers both the responsibilities of an effective trainer and the full vehicle-mounted aerial lift course, including US legislative requirements under OSHA and ANSI standards, pre-shift inspections, stability principles, safe operating procedures, hazard identification, electrical safety, and emergency response, all supported by practical teaching tips to help you engage and inform your learners.
