Scissor Lift Training
Scissor lifts (formally known as MEWPs) are widely utilized for many indoor and outdoor construction sites and other applications. Though regarded as easier to operate than boom lifts, there are still many risks and hazards to be aware of. Operators must be aware of these hazards and instructed in safe operating practices to minimize the risk of injury. That’s why Leavitt Machinery offers a comprehensive scissor lift training course for all levels of operators. This scissor lift certification program equips operators with the knowledge and experience they need for consistently safe operation.
Our scissor lift training consists of a combination of classroom theory, written testing, and hands-on experience. Course content is delivered through interactive discussion, multimedia presentations, and live demonstrations. This combination ensures that operators fully understand relevant safety standards and the procedures for safe operation. In addition to operating techniques, this course outlines basic maintenance procedures, hazard identification, and the principles of stability.
