Posted By IAMU, Wednesday, March 1, 2023
By now most of you have heard that the safety standards for Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (formerly aerial lifts) and most material moving heavy equipment have been revised. The updated training and operating requirements include hazard recognition, assessing work site conditions, fall protection, developing safe use programs and a review of the operator’s manual including operator and supervisor responsibilities.

IAMU is conducting classes at our location. Sessions include classroom, testing and hands-on practical examinations. Successful operators will be provided with a certificate and a wallet card. Please see the brochure for class requirements, dates and times.  Registration is now open.

Jobsite safety should be everyone’s number one priority, and doing everything possible to keep people safe is our and your responsibility.
