Getting to high places can be difficult in many work environments. Sometimes a ladder is all you need. But in some situations, you will have to use other equipment to do jobs that require you to be elevated while you work. Whether you're on a construction site, inside a warehouse or performing a maintenance job "up high", scissor lifts can help you to reach high places when a ladder just isn’t enough.
MARCOM’s course on "Scissor Lifts in Industrial and Construction Environments" has been designed to meet OSHA's training requirements in their "Mobile Elevated Work Platforms" (MEWPs) standard. It discusses the hazards associated with scissor lifts, the types of inspections that should be made before using a lift, the proper way to set up and operate a scissor lift and how to work safely on the ground near a lift.
Topics covered in the course include:
- OSHA and ANSI Standards for Using MEWPs
- Creating a "Safe Use Program" for Scissor Lifts
- Training Requirements for Operators and Occupants of Lifts
- Identifying and Avoiding Hazards Associated with Scissor Lifts
- "Equipment" and "Worksite" Inspections
- How to Operate a Scissor Lift Safely
- How to Safely Work on the Ground Near a Lift
- …and more.
Like all MARCOM courses, "Scissor Lifts in Industrial and Construction Environments" uses a powerful combination of full-motion, high-definition video filmed in real world locations, along with audio, text, and colorful graphics to provide the most cost-effective training available today.

Adaptive Learning
“Adaptive Learning” takes advantage of an employee’s existing knowledge to create training courses that are customized for that employee, and don’t “reteach” them things that they already know. In other words, the Adaptive Learning process determines what an employee already knows about a topic, then structures courses that contain only the information that the employee needs to complete their knowledge of the topic.
These individually customized courses eliminate the largest employee complaint about safety training (“I already know most of this stuff, so why do I have to go through this training again?!”), while potentially recapturing thousands of hours of lost productivity.
MARCOM’s Adaptive Learning courses test employees before they take the course. Then based on the questions that they answer correctly, the course itself determines if the employee knows enough about the information in each chapter in the course to “test out” of that chapter… and if they do, automatically reconfigures the course to skip those chapters.
Reconfiguring the courses in this way typically saves about 50% of an employee’s time in taking a course. Over a year’s time this can recapture a significant amount of lost productivity time for a company of any size, and result in hundreds of thousands of dollars of annual savings.
