    Vehicle Mounted Aerial Lifts(CAN)

    Course Overview

    The Vehicle Mounted Aerial Lifts course provides workers with the knowledge needed to operate bucket trucks and similar lift equipment safely. These machines make it easy to reach elevated areas for jobs like utility repairs, road and building maintenance, sign work, and vegetation management. Despite their convenience, they present serious hazards if operators misunderstand how lift components work or overlook key safety practices.

    This training walks participants through current Canadian safety regulations, equipment design, and the inspection steps required before each shift. Learners explore how stability principles influence lift performance, how capacity limits protect both workers and equipment, and which jobsite conditions can lead to unsafe operation. The course also covers essential operating techniques, site planning, setup procedures, refuelling safety, and emergency rescue expectations.

    By completing this program, learners gain the skills and confidence to inspect, operate, and maintain vehicle-mounted aerial lifts in accordance with Canadian best practices.

    Topic Overview

    Aerial lift safety depends on understanding the mechanics of the equipment, recognizing worksite hazards, and following established regulations. This course introduces workers to the broader concepts behind safe lift operation, helping them navigate job sites with greater awareness and improved decision-making.
