Aerial & Scissor Lift - Operator

**This course is approved for Idaho LAUNCH funding**

Scissor Lifts and Aerial Lifts are utilized for many activities in both the general industry and construction. While using aerial lifts is generally a safer way to perform tasks at heights compared to using a ladder, they can also be very dangerous and costly for untrained operators not aware of the hazards involved in the operation and functionality of the machines.

This 1-day certification course will educate individuals in the safe operation of scissor and aerial lifts per OSHA and ANSI standards. Participants will receive both classroom training along with hands-on operation of scissor and aerial lifts.

What Will I Learn?

• OSHA/ANSI operator requirements.
• How to conduct an aerial lift inspection.
• Recognizing unsafe conditions in the work area.
• Fall protection while operating a scissor/aerial lift.
• Electrical hazards.
• Dynamics of tip-over.
• Manipulation of operational controls.
• Steering and maneuvering.

Be prepared to perform satisfactorily on equipment as an operator during training.

Walk Away With:

• Authorized Operator status that will legally allow you to operate both scissor and aerial lifts on the job.
• Training workbook, with extensive notes, to use during the course and on the job site.
• Certification of Completion provided by CSI Workforce Development and Training.
• Aerial & Scissor Lift Operator Industry wallet card (valid for 3 years anywhere in the United States).
