What this course covers

01
Two Machines, Two Standards19 min
This module separates boom-style aerial lifts from scissor lifts and explains why that distinction changes operator duties, fall-protection choices, and employer authorization.
02
Before You Elevate20 min
This module teaches the checks that happen before the platform goes up: controls, machine condition, ground, slope, loads, weather, traffic, pedestrians, and overhead obstructions.
03
Fall Protection: Where the Machines Differ22 min
This module is the core of the course: boom lifts and scissor lifts do not use the same fall-protection logic, and the wrong assumption can create a life-safety hazard.
04
Operating Hazards and Stop-Work Decisions20 min
This module turns the rules into field decisions: electrical contact, tip-over, crushing, moving while elevated, rescue, emergency lowering, and when to refuse continued operation.
