From AGC of MO: There are few things that we cannot get done via hand-held devices today, be it our cell phone, Ipad or laptop computer. It’s no wonder that aerial lift safety training is also going that direction. Equipment rental companies are gradually moving away from classroom type settings for worker aerial lift safety training and telescopic reach forklift safety training and are moving towards online alternatives. There are several positives worth noting.
First, it allows individuals to train at times that are convenient to them and/or their employer. Rainy days and off-peak seasons become ideal times.
Second, it can be done at a pace that maximizes retention of the material. The employee can also stop and then pick back up where they left off at a later time.
A third benefit is consistency in the material presented. For instance, using the Genie LiftPro online training insures that every employee has exposure to the exact same ANSI compliant information.
