Boom and Scissor Certification Services, Comprehensive FAQ:
Certification Services Overview
What equipment can you certify?
We certify operators for boom lifts, scissor lifts, telehandlers, and forklifts. Our expertise covers brands like JLG, Genie, Snorkel, and other minor brands.
What industries require lift certification?
Certification is essential for operators across various industries, including:
- Construction
- Warehousing
- Hotel and event space maintenance
- Movie and theater production
Who needs to be certified?
OSHA mandates that all equipment operators must be certified, regardless of the industry. This applies to federal, state, local, and private employers and employees. Certification ensures compliance, reduces risks, and avoids penalties
OSHA and ANSI Compliance
Is the certificate valid for OSHA?
Yes, our certification is fully OSHA compliant and adheres to ANSI standards for aerial lift operations. Training includes both theoretical knowledge and hands-on practice, ensuring safety and efficiency.
Why is OSHA compliance important?
Non-compliance can lead to work stoppages, fines, and safety hazards. Reviewing OSHA’s database of fatalities and violation fines demonstrates the importance of proper training.
Can I certify online?
No. Online training is not OSHA compliant because it lacks the hands-on component required by OSHA and ANSI standards. We conduct all training on-site with the actual equipment.
What are the certification requirements?
The requirements are simple:
- Participants must be present.
- The equipment (boom lift, scissor lift, or forklift) must be available at your site.
