Our MEWP Safety Training Course provides comprehensive instruction on the safe operation and proper use of all types of MEWPs, including scissor lifts and boom lifts. Participants will learn how to conduct thorough pre-use inspections, recognize hazards, follow fall protection requirements, and operate equipment safely in accordance with OSHA and ANSI standards.
This course is available through in-person or blended learning options, combining classroom instruction with hands-on practical exercises. Topics include equipment setup, load capacity, safe maneuvering, emergency response, and best practices for stability and fall prevention.
By completing this training, employees will be prepared to operate MEWPs confidently and efficiently while minimizing workplace risks, and employers will benefit from stronger safety compliance and reduced liability.
Proper MEWP training is essential for safety and compliance. OSHA and ANSI require all operators to be trained before using equipment, ensuring they understand how to recognize hazards, operate lifts safely, and protect themselves and others while working at height. Training reduces accidents, improves efficiency, and keeps workplaces in compliance with industry standards.
Operators: Must complete formal training and obtain certification.
Supervisors: Those overseeing operators must also be trained.
Occupants: Anyone on the platform should understand safety guidelines.
Repair and Maintenance Crew: Teams servicing MEWPs must follow manufacturer and CSA requirements.
Certification demonstrates an operator’s ability to safely and efficiently use all types of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs), helping reduce workplace risks and ensuring compliance with OSHA and ANSI standards. Comprehensive training not only promotes safety but also builds confidence when working at height.
At Excelsior Safety Solutions, our expert instructors provide both hands-on, in-person training and flexible blended learning options. These programs equip your team with the knowledge, practical skills, and certification needed to operate MEWPs safely and effectively on the job site.
