Course content

1 section • 12 lectures • 44m total length

  • Introduction0:40

    Learn how to work safely at height with aerial lifts, and understand workplace requirements and definitions while comparing related high risk tasks like excavations, confined spaces, and forklifts.

  • Inspections2:53
  • Definitions0:21

    Review and understand the definitions provided for aerial lift safety. Read through them, note any questions in the comments, and be ready to discuss them in the next lesson.

  • Manuals3:47

    Read the instruction manual for each aerial lift to understand controls, rated workload, maximum height, electrical insulation, and proper operation.

  • Hazards3:11

    Identify hazards in aerial lift operation, emphasizing stability and center of gravity to prevent tipping and falls, and guard against hazards above us like electric lines and crush zones.

  • Modifications3:42

    Follow manufacturer and ANSI requirements; avoid modifying aerial lift components such as buckets and shock absorbers. Inspect equipment, drainage holes, and hydraulic systems to prevent structural damage and unsafe swings.

  • Max Capacity4:31

    Identify the maximum capacity from the aerial lift's id data plate, subtract attached equipment, and understand how boom position affects capacity to prevent tipping and maintain center of gravity.

  • No Scissors2:19

    Learn to distinguish aerial lifts from scissor lifts, which ANSI and OSHA place under scaffolding rather than aerial lifts, and this course focuses on aerial lifts.

  • Safe Operation Rules8:51

    Operate aerial lifts safely by lowering before movement, travel slowly with clear pedestrian communication, and maintain distance from hazards while following emergency procedures.

  • Setup8:05

    Inspect the work area, set brakes and outriggers, and establish a controlled zone with signage before elevating; wear fall protection and stay on the platform.

  • Stability4:32

    Learn how unfavourable conditions, soft ground, weight overloads, and shifting center of gravity threaten aerial lift stability, and how to plan, assess, and follow max capacities to prevent tip-overs.

  • Thank you1:31

    Review essential aerial lift safety practices, including fall protection with a full body harness and lanyard, pre-trip and periodic inspections, and verifying slope indicators and alarms.

Requirements

  • No experience necessary. Everyone welcome.

Description

This course will teach you everything you need to know about operating an aerial lift safely.  Aerial lifts present serious risks to users due to the fall height.  If you operate an aerial lift you need to know the dangerous situations that you can put yourself in and how to stay safe in the event you do.

This course is intended to provide safety and health training in compliance with Federal OSHA and State OSHA training requirements such as CalOSHA. If you have questions, you may ask our instructors and they will respond to you with in a short period of time as is outlined by the OSHA standards.
