What You’ll Learn

Employers are required to give their staff the necessary training on any on-site hazards. This includes working safely with, on, or around an aerial lift. An aerial lift training course must cover the manufacturer's instructions for operating the lift vertically, horizontally and while in transit. Not only that, but the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) requires extra training in accordance with federal OSHA requirements. This training course ensures that you meet the workplace safety laws specific to your employment.
