Half-Day Training

Practical half-day certification program focused on operational safety, compliance confidence, and site-level risk control.

Program Overview

Working at height on Aerial Work Platforms (AWPs) is one of the most hazardous activities on construction, infrastructure, and industrial sites. Falls from elevation account for a significant percentage of fatal workplace accidents in India each year, making structured AWP safety training not a luxury - but a legal and moral necessity.

ICLM's Aerial Work Platform Safety Training is a comprehensive, DISH-approved programme designed for workers, supervisors, and EHS professionals who operate or oversee elevated work platforms including scissor lifts, boom lifts, cherry pickers, and mobile elevated work platforms (MEWPs). The course blends regulatory compliance with hands-on practical knowledge, ensuring participants are fully equipped to prevent accidents before they happen.

Benefits & Outcomes

Upon completing ICLM's Aerial Work Platform Safety Training, participants will demonstrate the ability to perform thorough pre-operation inspections, apply safe working load principles, and respond effectively to on-site emergencies. Organisations benefit from reduced incident rates, improved legal compliance, and a documented safety culture that supports regulatory audits by the Directorate of Industrial Safety and Health (DISH). Certified personnel also contribute to lower insurance premiums and higher tendering scores on safety-sensitive projects across India.
