Aerial Lift/MEWP Safety Training
The Hard Hat Training Series has been creating trainings for many years. In attempts to keep up with OSHA and ANSI standards, trainings are updated and renewed to ensure we are providing the best training possible.
Aerial Lift or Mobile Operating Work Platform (MEWP) standards underwent quite a few changes to standard in 2020 and continue to be changed and refined today. In this updated training, you will find additional information to help you and your company be aligned with the standards and keep you as safe as possible. Let’s go over a few highlights from the new training:
Daily, Periodic, and Annual Inspections
Every day, pre-shift are inspections are performed. Operators and others can look at the machine to ensure it has a full tank of fuel and is in operating condition. They check each component to ensure that there are no hazards that could cause machine failure. Periodic inspections are also outlined in the training and need to take place every three months of 150 hours, whichever comes first. Annual inspections happen every year no later than 13 months from the previous inspection. To learn a little more about shift inspections and what they consist of, check out this blog post.
Common MEWP Hazards
As you think of a machine extending high in the air from a small, fixed base, a lot of potential hazards come to mind. In this training we outline each of those, as well as giving the trainee an idea of how to prevent them and protect themselves and other employees from the dangers that could come from unsafe use. Some of the most common MEWP hazards are tipovers, falls, machine failure, struck by or caught between the lift and another object, and powerlines. Other quick tips and hazards are found on this OSHA Fact Sheet.
Safe Operations
Operating a MEWP safely is important to the wellbeing of workers and companies. In this training we will talk about how safe operations starts with each employee. Employees need to make sure they are in the right mindset to complete the job, as well as have the proper training to do so. As an operator, employees should always know their machine and their worksite. Inspecting the worksite for slopes, soft soil, and overhead barriers will be helpful before operations begin.
Additional Information
New standards outline the importance of having a supervisor who is also trained and able to always observe operations. In addition to their being updates in the employee training, we have updated the supervisor training to ensure both operators and supervisors can complete their duties successfully! This training will also outline classification changes, and rescue plans.
Other Training Options:
We offer two other types of training for this course. The other training types are online training and a train the trainer certification course. An identical final exam and OSHA-aligned safety training certificate applies, no matter which of the three format options you choose below.
Online Training
Our online trainings are great for those who want to learn at their own pace and on their own time. Online trainings can be completed from any location, eliminating the need for expensive seminars.

keep track of their progress and exam scores. We also offer
group trainings,

Currently Viewing: Training Kit
Our kits are the perfect resource for those who want the freedom of training employees themselves. Unlike traditional trainings that are taken once, the kit offers a complete initial training as well as activities and materials to train employees long after they’ve been certified.
These materials include practical evaluations, exams, toolbox trainings, accident profiles, ect.
This is the current option
Train the Trainer
Train-the-trainer courses allow employers to take full control of the training process. Employees who take these courses are fully certified to use the training kit and train others.
This means that employers can hold training seminars and courses without the need for third-party trainers. We will also include a training presentation and materials to train others.

Online Safety Training FAQs
What does each online class cover?
Generally speaking, each course covers an overview of the topic, detailed explanation of relevant equipment, safe operating practices, common hazards to avoid, and hazard control measures.
How long is the course?
Trainees go at their own pace, but in general each class (including the exam) takes anywhere from 2 to 2.5 hours. We recommend planning for two or more so you don’t end up rushing through the exam.
Are these courses OSHA-aligned?
All Hard Hat Training online courses were designed to adhere to OSHA and ANSI training requirements. But it is important to understand that by OSHA-aligned, we mean it follows best practices and safety principles put forth by OSHA. In an online format, it is not possible to cover every code for every situation or hazard across every industry. For this reason, our safety training solutions are tools to further knowledge and help employers train and/or certify their crew.
However, just because a course or program is OSHA-aligned does not necessarily mean a company will be aligned or avoid citations if OSHA were to audit them. There is much more that goes into collective company alignment with OSHA. For example, workers need to be observed applying what they learned in the classroom in the field. This observation/practical exam should be done by trainers, supervisors, or other designated competent persons. Whether you use our training kits or online courses, we provide guides to help employers do this.
Other steps for ultimate alignment may include but are not limited to addressing with your crew any gaps in the training or additional hazards specific to your work situation; creating, training on, and enforcing written safety programs (also known as plans or procedures); and performing regular inspections and risk assessments.
Are the e-learning classes up-to-date with OSHA standards?
Yes, Hard Hat Training online courses incorporate the latest OSHA standards. As standards change, we make changes to the courses.
Does this course certify or qualify me?
There is a lot of confusion among operators and even companies about what it means to be certified or qualified. Simply put, no, a course does not certify anyone. It is the employer’s responsibility to make sure an employee is properly trained, and it is also his or her responsibility to say when the employee is “qualified” or “competent.” Our online courses and training kits are just a tool to help them in doing so.
According to OSHA, proper training must include a classroom portion, including a written exam, as well as a practical hands-on portion/exam wherein the operator is observed operating the machine. Our courses provide the classroom portion of the training. The safety administrator of the company will have access to a checklist which can be used to observe the trainee on the machine. When done successfully, the administrator signs the bottom of the form. At this point, unless further training is required by your employer, you have done everything required by OSHA to be considered by your employer as “qualified” or “competent.”
If I pass this class and exam, can I take my certification and get a job anywhere?
See “Does this course certify or qualify me?” This will depend on your employer. Remember, it is their responsibility to see that you are trained and if there is ever an accident, it is they who will have to prove to OSHA that they trained you sufficiently. Because of this, while some smaller businesses may simply accept your certificate and a copy of your test, they will often require you to go through their own training program. This is their right to do so. It is their further responsibility to train you in accordance with the job, site, equipment, etc.
How long is the training good for?
The timeframe for how long training remains valid depends on the specific topic and OSHA training guidelines. Heavy machinery operators, for instance, need to recertify every three years, while other training courses may have different renewal periods. The expiration date for each training course will be printed on your certificate of completion for reference so you know when to take the training again.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes, upon successful completion of the course and exam, you will have immediate online access to your certificate of completion. You have the option to download the practical evaluations for your specific course. Although the practical evaluation is not required for you to earn online course completion credit, we strongly recommend completing it under the supervision of your employer to ensure your mastery of the safety training topics.
How many people can use this course? Can I play it for several employees at the same time?
Only one employee can take the course. There are many reasons for this, but most importantly, the course is designed to train one employee per OSHA regulations. Also, there is an online final exam at the end that will be linked to the trainee assigned. OSHA requires proof of training, and if multiple people were to sit in on that one course, they would not get credit for taking it.
Are SCORM/Tin Can options available for use on our own company LMS?
All our online courses are SCORM-compatible and can be easily uploaded to your company’s current SCORM-compliant LMS using our SCORM Cloud dispatch service. We do not offer direct SCORM file access to our courses.
