Aerial Lift Training
Training to make your workplace safer.
Aerial lifts are now commonly used to replace ladders and scaffolding on many job sites. Obviously, the more training you and your employees have on this common piece of equipment, the safer your workplace will be. In our Aerial Lift training course, we’ll focus on:
- Review of equipment anatomy and components
- Requirements for stability and rules for safe operation
- Understanding and avoiding the six most common hazards
- Difference between inspections: visual and functional
- Requirements for frequency of inspections
Just like all our training courses, our Aerial Lift training will be presented by knowledgeable, skilled professionals in an interesting, hands-on way. No boring textbook stuff here. Just valuable, practical information that can have an immediate positive impact on your workplace.

WE BET YOU HAVE SOME QUESTIONS
Does OSHA require people who use aerial lifts to be certified?
No. OSHA requires employees who use aerial lifts to be trained and qualified to use the equipment, and has a detailed list of what that training should include. Our Aerial Lift training course will provide the training you need to safely use the equipment, and also prepare you for qualification testing at the end of our course. Upon successful completion, we issue a wallet card which is valid for two years.
Can anyone take aerial lift training?
Absolutely. In fact, anyone who works on jobsites where aerial lifts are used should seriously consider completing our course.
Where does the training take place?
We can train at your worksite, or at one of our locations throughout the U.S. To make it even easier, some of the training can be done online, too.

Yes, we do. We can train one of your regular employees so they can provide aerial lift training — with our support — to other employees in the future.
