At Premier Platforms, we place the utmost value on the well-being and safety of all employees… ours AND yours. No job is so important that we should not take the time to perform the work safely!
In fact, safety is so important that the OSHA Regulations state that each employer must ensure that every employee receives forklift and aerial work platform training.
Premier Platforms offers this training as a service to our loyal customers. Whether it’s at one of our facilities or at the customer's jobsite or office, our safety training courses cover the safe and proper use of equipment in accordance with OSHA Regulations and ANSI Standards.
By participating in Premier Platforms' Safety Training courses, forklift and aerial work platform rental customers can help ensure the safety of their employees.
