Aerial Specialists Asks: Where is our "Across the Board" (AWP or MEWP) Aerial Work Platform Training?

Aerial Specialists Asks:

Where is our “Across the Board” (AWP or MEWP) Aerial Work Platform Training?

WHERE – are the Industries “ACROSS THE BOARD” Certifiable Aerial Work Platform Training Schools?
WHO – carries the “ACROSS THE BOARD” Certifiable KNOWLEDGE to Train current Technicians?
WHEN – is this going to be addressed openly?
WHY – after 95% of our US based Aerial Work Platform Mfg. Companies have gone defunct why is this still an issue?
WHERE is this Technical Training to take place?
HOW can this be achieved? SIMPLE … ASK !!!
WHAT curriculum should be taught? .. Answer: EVERYTHING!

NO one is “ACROSS THE BOARD” FACTORY Certified! ( DON’T KID YOURSELF! )
NO one can be Certified because there are …..
NO “ACROSS THE BOARD” Certifiable Training Facilities
NO “ACROSS THE BOARD” Certifiable Instructors &
NO “ACROSS THE BOARD” Certifiable Curriculum
95% of the US AWP industries “independent dealers” are now gone. Up until YR-2000, there were 7500 independent dealers in the US. Each ORIGINAL AWP Mfg. Company (75 of them) had 2-Dealers Per State. Now – there are a BASIC 4 US based AWP Mfg. Companies left leaving now approx. 400 independent dealers left in the whole US!

The losers here … are the Un-Aware USERS who unknowingly put there lives in Un-Trained & Un-Certified Technicians hands and the insurers? Our AWP industry just turns a BLIND EYE to all of this!
