About The Course

Scissor lifts are widely used on worksites, yet incorrect operation can quickly lead to serious safety incidents.

Participants are placed in a simulated work environment and required to:

  • Complete required documentation and perform pre-use inspections to identify hazards.
  • Set up and control exclusion zones to protect nearby personnel.
  • Fit a harness and operate a scissor lift in line with safe work procedures.
  • Carry out a cleaning task at height while following established safety controls.
  • Complete the entire task sequence under exam-style conditions.

This scenario-based training develops practical skill, situational awareness, and a strong safety mindset, enabling confident and compliant scissor lift operation on any job and at any working height.

Features:

  • Establish and manage an exclusion zone around the active work area.
  • Complete an elevated cleaning task while operating a scissor lift.
  • Perform a full scissor lift task from start to finish under exam-style conditions.
  • Access integrated analytics to track learner performance and assessment results.
