Mobile elevated work platforms (MEWPs) are mechanical devices that provide temporary access for people or equipment to inaccessible areas, usually at height. This course focuses on Group A work platforms, more commonly known as scissor lifts.
Scissor lifts are generally used for temporary access purposes such as maintenance and construction work, distinguishing them from other access equipment such as elevators or scaffolding.
Scissor lifts have become one of the most utilized pieces of equipment in multiple industries. Hazards can include falls, contact with live wires, tipping and contact with structures resulting in worker injury. For these reasons, our training program consists of theory and practical assessments using scissor lifts.
This course teaches operators about hazards, safe operation, preventive maintenance and legislative requirement associated with scissor lift use.

AIP offers in-house and offsite training options to best suit your company’s needs.
Note: Scissor lift(s) must be made available if training is conducted offsite.
In addition to the MEWP (Scissor lift), we also offer MEWP (Boom lift) and MEWP (Scissor/Boom) combined.
