Group Training for Elevated Work Platforms
Telehandlers, Aerial Lifts, Scissor Lifts, Boom Lifts, Rough Terrain Vehicles
OSHA & ANSI Compliant Lift Certification for MEWP and Telehandler Operator Training
Ensure your team is trained on the most current, revised MEWP (Mobile Elevating Work Platform) and Telehandler operating requirements. Supervisors, operators, and vehicle occupants must understand the laws, regulations, safe use practices, manufacturers' requirements, and hazard avoidance, and your operators must be certified.
Before using MEWPs (scissor lifts, aerial lifts, telehandlers, boom lifts, and rough terrain vehicles) on-site, ensure the following personnel have received proper training:
- Operators - Must be certified in all aspects of operation and safety according to OSHA and ANSI guidelines
- Supervisors – People who directly supervise MEWP operators (ANSI only).
- Occupants – People working from but not operating the equipment.
That’s where the Apex Pro trainers come in handy. Our team has the prerequisite experience and knowledge to ensure all those operating or working in your MEWPs know the proper operation and the limitations of the equipment.
Remember: Even MEWP rentals require a trained operator.

- Comprehensive training for on-site vehicles
- Skills development for safe operation and risk avoidance
- Proper techniques for managing fuel or battery/charging
