Aerial Lifts in Industrial and Construction Environments: Working With and Around a Lift

This safety video program on Aerial Lifts in Industrial and Construction Environments: Working With and Around a Lift, the second of a two-part series that has been designed to meet OSHA's training requirements in their "Mobile Elevated Work Platforms" (MEWPs) standard, discusses how to inspect an aerial lift, how to prepare to use a lift, how to operate an aerial lift, and how to work on the ground near a lift safely.

Whether you find yourself hanging siding on a construction site, changing light bulbs in a warehouse or performing outdoor utility work, aerial lifts can help you reach areas that would otherwise be almost impossible to get to. But before you work with an aerial lift, you need to know what types of lifts you will encounter and the hazards that are associated with each one.

Areas covered in the program include:

• OSHA and ANSI Standards for MEWPs,
• creating a Safe Use Program for aerial lifts,
• training requirements for operators and occupants of lifts,
• identifying and avoiding hazards associated with aerial lifts, and more.

The safety video program comes with a quiz, a scheduling and attendance form, a training certificate, and an employee training log.
