This program is designed for individuals who work from, or operate, boom lifts, scissor lifts, and/or push-around equipment. This course covers all the safety aspects regarding pre- and post-use checks, regulations, fall protection, and general use. The course format includes a combination of presentation, question and answer, practical application, and final exam. Aerial lifts, also known as boom lifts, bucket trucks, and cherry pickers, are used throughout construction and general industry workplaces. Even though aerial lifts are generally safer than ladders or climbing to height, more than 26 workers are killed every year in accidents. During seven years, there were 207 fatal aerial lift accidents. The most common accidents and fatalities related to aerial lifts were electrocution (69) and falls (64), which represent more than half of the fatalities. To prevent these types of injuries, OSHA requires employees to receive training on aerial lifts before using them in the workplace. This training program is designed to provide that training.
