IALS holds training course

On August 17, the Institute held an AWPT operator’s course for categories (1b) and (3b) at our facility.  We had 6 students from all over the country in attendance, with each student successfully receiving a PAL card.

Here is a student navigating the challenge course for category 3b operators.  Operators must avoid the cones and successfully complete a task after doing a workplace inspection and pre-start inspection to demonstrate their competence in the category.

We had a great day and we congratulate these students on their success.

  1. I have always been fascinated by aerial lifts. When I was a kid, they only used to be attached to the truck and could only go up or down. Apparently now, you can drive them like a vehicle from the lift bucket.
