a serious hazard to workers. Employers are responsible for keeping workers safe. This course highlights specific hazards present in workplaces where aerial lifts are used and controls
employers must implement to prevent injuries or fatalities. The course materials will be an excellent reference for you to use when working on NAVFAC or USACE construction projects. This course is for everyone working on construction sites.
