About the course
What this course covers.
This course is scissor-lift-specific, not a general aerial platform course: it works through the types of scissor lifts and the training needed to operate them, and the hazards particular to using one.
It covers pre-start and worksite inspections, and setting up, operating, and moving a scissor lift safely.
It closes with a topic a broader aerial-platform course doesn't cover in this much detail: working on the ground near a scissor lift, not just operating one.
