Designate an adequate number of departmental trainers to train employees in the safe use of aerial work platforms. Designated Trainers Be knowledgeable in the operation of aerial work platforms in their unit, be familiar with all safety principles applicable to their operation and provide training to employees as required. Operators Comply with this Guideline and operate aerial work platforms in accordance with the training received. Report any job related injuries or illnesses, questions on health and safety, or any unsafe or unhealthy working conditions to your supervisor. OSEH Coordinate training of designated trainers and maintain training records for all operators and designated trainers.
Issue permits to trained operators.
Arrange medical surveillance and maintain surveillance records. During the 30 day training period employees must be closely supervised and instructed in proper operating procedures. After 30 days, all operators must have a permit to operate any aerial work platform. The Designated Trainer will conduct the training, have the employee view the video, and administer the written and performance exams. The medical screening questionnaire contained in the training packet will be completed by the employee and mailed confidentially to the University's occupational health care provider.
