Aerial Lifts in Industrial and Construction Environments: Types of Lifts and Their Hazards

MARCOM’s interactive course on Aerial Lifts in Industrial and Construction Environments: Types of Lifts and Their Hazards is the first of a of a two-part series that has been designed to meet OSHA’s training requirements in their “Mobile Elevated Work Platforms” (MEWPs) standard. The course discusses different types of aerial lifts, the hazards that you can encounter when you’re using an aerial lift and the safety standards that you must follow when you’re working with or near an aerial lift. Using a powerful combination of audio, full-motion video, text and colorful graphics, this course provides the most cost-effective safety and regulatory compliance training available today. The course is divided into a number of logical sections so information is easily understood… and retained.
