Typically a construction and maintenance unit designed only for the transport of people and small loads, scissor lifts or “aerial work platforms” are known for their maneuverability and ease of use. Our course covers the hazards associated with working at heights, machine grade-ability, fall protection and emergency descent procedures. These topics along with the core fundamentals and regulations of use are all covered in our on site scissor lift training course. Finally each participant will have to complete an operational test to acquire their scissor lift certification.
