Do you have employees operating and/or working around aerial lifts, now referred to as mobile elevated work platforms (MEWPs)? Are your trainers qualified to facilitate proper training? In both general industry and construction, OSHA requires that each operator be properly trained prior to operating any MEWP, and ANSI further establishes that trainers be “qualified”. This course is specific to "boom-lifts" (i.e. "Group B" MEWPs) and "mast-lifts" (i.e. "Group A" MEWPs), and is intended for trainers, as well as superintendents, managers, supervisors, foremen, and safety personnel, to understand design and loading principles, requirements and consensus standards, and the responsibilities of qualified trainers. Topics include:

• Types of mobile elevated work platforms
• Design, loading and capacity
• Inspections and maintenance
• Environmental factors and work-site inspections
• Safe operation
• Fall protection, rollover protection and restraint
• Operator training and evaluation
• Training for supervisors, occupants, and other personnel

NOTE: The Minnesota Safety Council recommends trainers and supervisors renew their training every three years to remain apprised of changes and updates.

See “Aerial “Scissors” Lifts (MEWPS): Fundamentals for the Trainer” for “Group A” scissors-lift and vertical-mast MEWPs.
