Aerial & Scissor Lift Training FAQs

What is an aerial lift?

An aerial lift is equipment designed to elevate workers so they can perform tasks at height. OSHA describes aerial lifts as vehicle-mounted devices used to elevate personnel. Common examples include boom lifts, aerial ladders, articulating boom platforms, vertical towers, bucket trucks, and cherry pickers.

Aerial lifts are commonly used in construction, maintenance, utilities, warehousing, facility management, electrical work, painting, signage, and other jobs where employees need to work at elevated locations.

Are scissor lifts considered aerial lifts?

Not under OSHA's regulatory classification. Although scissor lifts and aerial lifts are both used to elevate workers and share many similar hazards, OSHA distinguishes between them.

Aerial lifts generally include equipment such as boom lifts, bucket trucks, cherry pickers, aerial ladders, and articulating boom platforms. Scissor lifts move primarily vertically using crossed supports and are generally treated as mobile supported scaffold work platforms under OSHA requirements.

Because workers may encounter both types of equipment on the job, RedZone LMS combines aerial lift and scissor lift safety topics into one convenient training course.

Does OSHA require aerial lift operator training?

Yes. Employers are responsible for ensuring that workers who operate aerial lifts are properly trained and authorized to use the equipment.

Training should address applicable hazards and safe operating procedures, including falls, electrical hazards, falling objects, unsafe workplace conditions, proper equipment operation, load capacity, inspections, and manufacturer requirements. Workers must also be able to demonstrate the skills and knowledge needed to operate the equipment safely.

Training requirements can vary depending on the type of equipment, work environment, and applicable OSHA standards.

Can I complete aerial lift training online?

Yes. The knowledge-based portion of aerial and scissor lift safety training can be completed online. Online training is an efficient way to learn OSHA requirements, hazard recognition, inspections, fall protection, equipment limitations, and safe operating practices.

RedZone LMS Aerial & Scissor Lift Training is 100% online and self-paced for the knowledge portion of training.

Completing an online course, however, does not eliminate the employer's responsibility to ensure that an employee can safely operate the specific equipment used on the job. Employers remain responsible for applicable equipment-specific instruction, workplace-specific training, familiarization, and demonstration or evaluation of safe operation.

Can an employer use online training to train aerial lift operators?

Yes. Employers can use online education as part of an aerial and scissor lift operator training program.

Online training can provide employees with important knowledge about OSHA requirements, equipment hazards, inspections, fall protection, equipment limitations, and safe operating procedures.

The employer remains responsible for ensuring each worker receives training appropriate to the equipment and workplace and can demonstrate the ability to operate the equipment safely. Additional training may be necessary when different equipment is introduced, workplace hazards change, an incident occurs, or an employee demonstrates that additional training is needed.

RedZone LMS provides the online knowledge-training portion and documentation of successful course completion, making it easier for employers to incorporate online education into their overall operator training program.

What is the best online aerial lift training course?

The best online aerial lift training course should do more than provide a certificate. Look for training that clearly explains applicable OSHA requirements, common workplace hazards, inspections, fall protection, load capacity, safe operating practices, and employer responsibilities.

A quality course should also be easy for employees to access, allow them to learn at their own pace, verify that they understand the material, and provide documentation when training is successfully completed.

RedZone LMS Aerial & Scissor Lift Training costs just $29 per person and combines aerial and scissor lift safety in one self-paced online course. Training covers OSHA and ANSI requirements, hazard recognition, pre-use inspections, fall protection, safe operation, stability and load capacity, emergency procedures, and employer responsibilities. Students receive a downloadable certificate and operator card after successfully completing the online course.

Employers should remember that online coursework provides the knowledge portion of operator training. Employers remain responsible for applicable equipment-specific and workplace-specific requirements and for ensuring employees can safely operate the equipment they use.

How much does online aerial lift training cost?

Aerial lift training prices vary depending on the provider, course content, training format, and whether training is purchased for one employee or an entire workforce.

RedZone LMS Aerial & Scissor Lift Training costs just $29 per person and includes both aerial lift and scissor lift safety training in one online course.

Group discounts are also available for employers training multiple employees.

Because the course is self-paced and online, employees can complete the knowledge portion of their training without traveling to a classroom or scheduling an instructor-led course.

Does the $29 RedZone LMS aerial lift course include a certificate?

Yes. The $29 RedZone LMS Aerial & Scissor Lift Training course includes the online training and a downloadable certificate of completion and operator card after the student successfully completes the course.

The certificate documents successful completion of the RedZone LMS online training course. Employers remain responsible for applicable hands-on, equipment-specific, workplace-specific, and operator-evaluation requirements.

What OSHA standards cover aerial lifts and scissor lifts?

Different OSHA requirements can apply depending on the equipment and work environment.

For aerial lifts, important OSHA requirements include 29 CFR 1910.67 for general industry and 29 CFR 1926.453 for construction, along with other applicable training and workplace-safety requirements.

Scissor lifts are treated differently. OSHA generally considers scissor lifts mobile supported scaffold work platforms rather than aerial lifts. Applicable construction requirements can include OSHA's scaffold standards, including 29 CFR 1926.451, 1926.452, and 1926.454.

Employers should determine which OSHA requirements apply to their particular equipment, industry, and workplace.

How long does aerial and scissor lift training take?

Most students complete the RedZone LMS Aerial & Scissor Lift Training course in approximately 1–2 hours.

The course is self-paced, so students can move through the material at a comfortable speed and review important sections when necessary. Students have up to 90 days to complete the course.

Does aerial lift training expire?

OSHA focuses on whether workers remain properly trained and capable of safely performing their jobs rather than establishing one universal expiration date for all aerial lift training.

Retraining may be necessary when an incident occurs, new workplace hazards are identified, a different type of lift is introduced, or an employee demonstrates that they are not operating equipment properly.

Employers may also establish their own refresher-training schedules as part of their safety programs.

Is RedZone LMS aerial lift training OSHA certified?

OSHA does not certify or approve individual commercial aerial lift training courses.

RedZone LMS Aerial & Scissor Lift Training is designed to help employers provide the knowledge portion of training covering relevant OSHA requirements and recognized safe operating practices. Students who successfully complete the online course receive documentation of course completion.

Employers remain responsible for ensuring workers receive all training required for their particular equipment and workplace and can demonstrate safe operation before operating equipment on the job.
