Aerial and Scissor Lift Safety
Aerial lifts are used occasionally in many general industry jobs like cleaning, maintenance, inspection, stock picking, etc. But, if you make a living as a painter, HVAC tech, electrician, or any other job that requires you to be elevated to perform work in high places, then you likely spend a lot of time on aerial lifts.
Working at heights can be dangerous, and the majority of aerial lift accidents happen because of a lack of training or inattention. In this course, you will learn that operating aerial lifts safely begins with preventive maintenance, conditioning of machinery, and many other considerations before turning the key.
