The primary goal of Scissor Lift Operator Safety Training is to provide scissor lift operators with the necessary training to ensure safety for themselves and fellow employees. To maximize safe and efficient use of a scissor lift, we must have well trained scissor lift operators, which meet OHSA and CSA regulations.

    (a) only by,
        (i) a competent person. Or
        (ii) a worker being instructed who is accompanied by a competent person;

The Federal legislation requires:
Operators of scissor lift equipment shall receive training/retraining at intervals not exceeding three years.
