Scissor Lift risk assessment

Save time and money

Don’t waste time at a rental outfit or a “safety consultant”. You should be training your operators yourself with aerial lift train the trainer certification, and here’s how.

This online course is developed from a recent initiative to identify and document Best Practices for Aerial Work Platform (AWP) trainers and operators by members of the Scaffold Industry Association (SIA), in cooperation with rental operators, manufacturers, associations for those entities, educators, regulators, users and operators. Much of what follows has been adapted from the “Statement of Best Practices of General Training and Familiarization for Aerial WorkPlatform Equipment” issued by SIA in February, 2010.

The stated objective for this initiative is very straightforward:

“To increase the safe use of AWP equipment and expand AWP equipment riskmanagement knowledge throughout the industry, those from the industry have joined forces to create an industry—recognized Statement of Best Practices of General Training and Familiarization for Aerial Work Platform (AWP) Equipment.

This initiative is the result of recognized inconsistencies in the interpretation of what is general training and familiarization and how each is being delivered in the industry.”

The Best Practices initiative also includes a number of training objectives as well:

• - “To educate members of the industry on recognized and supported standards, including the American National Standards Institute/Scaffold Industry Association (ANSI/SIA) A92 Standards and the Occupational Safety &Health Administration (OSHA) regulations
• - Present best practices and minimum general training guidelines for AWP equipment operators
• - Emphasize the differences between general training and familiarization
• - Clarify minimum qualifications of the trainer
