Have you ever wondered exactly what should be looked at in a pre-flight Aerial Lift inspection? Do you know what ANSI/OSHA mandates for fall protection when operating an Aerial Lift and why? We will answer these questions as well as discuss safe lift setup, site set-up and lift operation. Then we will look at pruning and how to maneuver throughout the canopy of the tree to make good cuts, as well as how to build safe and productive rigging systems. This will be done through explanation, demonstration and audience participation in a fun and open learning environment. Although this class is especially geared to the tree care/landscape industry, anyone is welcome to participate!
