OSHA Aerial and Scissor Lift Safety Training Course Syllabus
This OSHA Aerial and Scissor Lift Safety Training course consists of 4 lessons. Students are required to take each lesson in sequential order as listed below.
OSHA Aerial and Scissor Lift Safety Training: Introduction
Lesson 1: Mobile Elevated Work Platforms Overview
In this lesson, we explore the suitability of Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (MEWPs), like aerial and scissor lifts, for tasks that cannot be relocated to ground level. These platforms have unique features and safety procedures that must be understood to guarantee their secure use on-site. Key objectives include grasping the characteristics of MEWPs, listing their types, recognizing associated hazards, and identifying essential elements covered by OSHA Standards.
Lesson 2: Safety Procedures Before Use
This lesson provides a comprehensive overview of safety procedures essential before utilizing aerial and scissor lifts, emphasizing their crucial role in accident prevention and worker well-being. The outlined protocols encompass careful equipment selection and inspections, operator training and certification, thorough risk assessments, and strict adherence to manufacturer guidelines. Emphasizing the paramount importance of prioritizing safety, the lesson aims to achieve three key objectives: listing the safety protocols preceding MEWP operation, elucidating the significance of each pre-use safety procedure, and providing detailed explanations for each of these critical safety measures.
Lesson 3: Safety Precautions During Use
This lesson delves into the fundamental skills and practices necessary for using lifts efficiently and safely, covering key aspects such as precautions to prevent hazards, recognizing the necessity for fall protection for workers using aerial or scissor lifts, outlining strategies to avert tipping incidents, and describing methods to minimize risks associated with catapulting, electrocution, and contact injuries.
Lesson 4: Safety Procedures After Use
Post-use safety procedures for lifts are indispensable to prevent accidents, equipment damage, and unauthorized access, prioritizing the well-being of operators and those nearby. Adhering to proper protocols is crucial for sustaining lift safety and operational efficiency. This lesson focuses on understanding the steps involved in securing lifts after use, elaborating on strategies to prevent unauthorized equipment usage, and emphasizing the importance of following manufacturer instructions specific to aerial or scissor lifts.

A Final Note
It is important to remember that attending a training course on its own will not make a worker competent. Competence is developed over time by implementing the knowledge acquired through a training course to on-the-job work processes. Therefore, in addition to this online course, it is important that you receive additional on-site training from your employer to better grasp workplace-specific processes. Therefore, in addition to this online course, you must receive additional hands-on training from your employer to better grasp the operations and specifics of the aerial or scissor lifts used in your workplace.
