    Vehicle Mounted Aerial Lifts (OSHA)

    COURSE OVERVIEW

    This OSHA-focused Vehicle Mounted Aerial Lifts course gives workers the essential knowledge needed to operate bucket trucks and cherry pickers safely. These lifts are used daily in utilities, construction, municipal services, and roadside maintenance. Because they raise workers and equipment to significant heights, proper training is critical for preventing falls, collisions, and equipment failures.

    Learners explore regulatory requirements, lift anatomy, inspection routines, stability concepts, and hazard recognition. The course also outlines step-by-step guidance for job planning, site setup, safe maneuvering, and proper refueling. Additional modules address communication methods and what to do during emergencies or rescue situations. By completing this course, workers will be prepared to use a vehicle-mounted aerial lift with confidence and compliance.

    TOPIC OVERVIEW

    Aerial lift safety depends on understanding equipment behavior, environmental risks, and operator responsibilities. This topic introduces the fundamentals of how vehicle-mounted lifts work, why stability matters, and how hazards develop, giving learners a strong base for safer performance on the job.
