The Spanish aerial lift online certification (MEWP training) is designed for employers, contractors, staffing agencies, and government agencies across all industries who need to train and certify their Spanish-speaking boom lift and scissor lift operators, including:
- Employers onboarding Spanish-speaking workers who need initial aerial lift certification.
- Companies with existing operators due for refresher training and recertification.
- Operations with Spanish-speaking contractors or temporary workers who require documented MEWP training.
- Multi-location employers who need consistent, standardized training across facilities.
- Staffing agencies responsible for training Spanish-speaking workers before placement.
The following mobile elevating work platforms are covered in the training:
- Scissor Lifts (Group A)
- Boom Lifts (Group B — Telescopic and Articulating)
Aligned with OSHA, ANSI, and CSA mobile elevating work platform standards, the Spanish aerial lift online training program is organized into clear modules that build from aerial lift fundamentals and equipment knowledge through to safe operation, hazard recognition, and pre-use inspection procedures. Each module includes a knowledge assessment to confirm comprehension before advancing.

The Spanish MEWP/Aerial Lift online training program is designed in alignment with the following mobile elevating work platform safety standards and regulatory requirements:
- OSHA 29 CFR 1926.453 – Aerial Lifts (Construction)
- ANSI/SAIA A92.22 – Safe Use of Mobile Elevating Work Platforms
- ANSI/SAIA A92.24 – Training Requirements for Mobile Elevating Work Platforms
- CSA B354 – Mobile Elevating Work Platforms
Training Language and Comprehension
OSHA requires that aerial lift training be provided in a language and vocabulary that employees can understand. This means employers must ensure that employees fully comprehend the training content.
If you’re training Spanish-speaking operators, you need to provide them with Spanish MEWP training. Providing English-language training to workers who don’t speak English does not meet OSHA’s requirements.
This training program specifically helps you meet this requirement to ensure OSHA compliance.
