Phoenix, AZ 85007
Class Description: Aerial Lifts and Ladder Safety Instructor: ADOSH Trainer Joe Ornelas
Falls are the #1 cause of fatalities among construction workers and a leading cause of fatalities in general industry. All three of the topics of this class are areas of concern that require a closer look at the hazards, standards and means of protection.
An aerial lift is any vehicle-mounted device used to elevate personnel, including:
Extendable boom platforms, Aerial ladders, Articulating (jointed) boom platforms, Vertical towers, and any combination of these.
Aerial lifts have replaced ladders and scaffolding on many job sites due to their mobility and flexibility. They may be made of metal, fiberglass reinforced plastic, or other materials. They may be powered or manually operated, and are considered to be aerial lifts whether or not they can rotate around a primarily vertical axis.
Many workers are injured or killed on aerial lifts each year.
This class will address the hazards of working from height, methods of protection from falls, struck-by, caught-in and electrocution hazards, and the OSHA standards that relate to aerial lifts, scaffolds, and ladders.
