Aerial and Scissor Lift Safety

Aerial and Scissor Lift Safety certification is required for anyone who operates any type of lift designed to elevate employees off the ground.  This training consists of a video, a written test, an operator pre-use inspection exercise, and a performance test. Also covered are PPE and safety harness/fall prevention.

This class is required by OSHA every three years, after an accident, or any time new equipment is to be used.   Request this class by contacting STSIG Loss Prevention, it usually takes around three hours and must be done at your site with your lift present and operational.

Asbestos Awareness

A local education agency (LEA) is required to designate a person to ensure that all LEA responsibilities and/or requirements are properly implemented (40 CFR part 763.84(g)(1)).  Every school is also required to have an Asbestos Management Plan.  Custodial and maintenance staff are required to be trained to different levels depending on thier duties. STSIG provides AHERA training by a professonal trainer about every three years. For basic familiarity training, STSIG can come to your site to instruct your employees.
