UPDATED Inspection Section for Aerial Lift Safety Training Video

MCAA has revised the inspection section of the Aerial Lift Safety Training Video to include pre-use inspection testing tilt sensors and pothole protectors on boom and scissors lifts. The video teaches viewers how to protect themselves while working with aerial lifts, including topics such as load capacities, inspection, function testing, what to do in case of a problem, fall prevention & protection, and safe operating procedures.

The revised video comes with a pocket guide that highlights key training points, training documentation sheet, 20-question multiple choice test, and test answer key shown below.

Resource Highlight: MCAA’s Preparing for and Handling OSHA Inspections for Supervisors Video

Each week, MCAA will highlight one or more of the educational resources that are free to MCAA members as a benefit of membership. This week, we focus on MCAA’s Preparing for and Handling OSHA Inspections for Supervisors. Preparedness is key to getting through an OSHA inspection and saving the company time and money. This video will prepare supervisors so they will respond effectively, even during surprise OSHA inspections. This is particularly important now given the current administration’s emphasis on enforcement vs. employer outreach.
