Do I need any special training or certification to operate an aerial lift?
Yes, special training and certification are generally required to operate an aerial lift. At West Georgia Aerial Lift, Inc., we prioritize safety and compliance with industry standards. Operating an aerial lift involves potential risks, so it's crucial for operators to undergo proper training to ensure safe usage. We recommend all operators to have completed an approved aerial lift operation training program. This training typically includes learning about equipment controls, stability, fall protection, emergency procedures, and maintenance. Additionally, it is highly recommended for operators to obtain a certification such as the Aerial Work Platform Operator Certification (AWPC) or the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) PAL Card. Proper training and certification not only enhance safety but also demonstrate competence and compliance with legal regulations in the operation of aerial lifts.
