Scissor Lift Safety

Online Training Certification Course

29 CFR 1926 Subpart L

From the highest rated and most trusted online training company - since 2008.

This online scissor lift training presents an overview of safe operating procedures for scissor lifts. Topics include applicable regulations, hazard identification, and the responsibilities of employers and employees. Scissor lift training also details safe use of scissor lifts, such as maintenance, inspections, stabilization, positioning, and other safety precautions.

A scissor lift is a type of supported scaffold that is used to elevate workers in many different work environments, including construction, manufacturing, retail, and entertainment. Scissor lifts can be dangerous if used improperly, and scissor lift safety is critical in preventing injuries and fatalities associated with these mobile work platforms.

This course is for:
This scissor lift training is designed for anyone who works with, on, or near scaffolds, including scissor lifts. This safety training may help prevent serious injury in the workplace and save lives.

This online certification course meets the requirements set forth by OSHA for scissor lift certification training.

Case Study: In March 2018, an employee in Concord, California, was sanding drywall while elevated on a scissor lift. The employee fell approximately 6 feet from the scissor lift to a concrete surface and was killed. The scissor lift was missing a toprail.

Key Takeaway: Even falls from a seemingly short distance can be fatal. Guardrails are the primary means of fall prevention on a scissor lift and are required to be in place and operational. The time it takes to make sure your worksite is safe is time well spent.
