Aerial Lift Inspector & Operator
Crane Institute of America
Aerial lifts are relatively easy to operate. However, this makes them more than likely to be involved in workplace accidents. Participants will leave this program knowing how to properly operate and inspect aerial lifts, which will reduce the potential for accidents, OSHA Citations, and Liability Exposure.
