What you actually cover

Every module, in order, with its runtime. 4 modules, 20 topics, 1 hr 21 min of instruction, and a final exam you pass at 80%. Nothing here is behind the paywall as a surprise.

  1. 01Two Machines, Two Standards

    19 min

    This module separates boom-style aerial lifts from scissor lifts and explains why that distinction changes operator duties, fall-protection choices, and employer authorization.

    • Aerial and Scissor Lift Operator Awareness
    • Aerial lift category
    • Scissor lift category
    • Trained and authorized
    • Why classification matters

  2. 02Before You Elevate

    20 min

    This module teaches the checks that happen before the platform goes up: controls, machine condition, ground, slope, loads, weather, traffic, pedestrians, and overhead obstructions.

    • Control test
    • Machine inspection
    • Work area inspection
    • Load and configuration
    • Weather and environment

  3. 03Fall Protection: Where the Machines Differ

    22 min

    This module is the core of the course: boom lifts and scissor lifts do not use the same fall-protection logic, and the wrong assumption can create a life-safety hazard.

    • Boom-lift tie-off
    • No adjacent tie-off
    • Stay on the floor
    • Scissor-lift guardrails
    • When policy adds protection

  4. 04Operating Hazards and Stop-Work Decisions

    20 min

    This module turns the rules into field decisions: electrical contact, tip-over, crushing, moving while elevated, rescue, emergency lowering, and when to refuse continued operation.

    • Electrical hazards
    • Tip-over controls
    • Crushing and overhead contact
    • Rescue planning
    • Refuse and report
