Tree Care Aerial Device - Version 1.2

The Altec Sentry Program is an OSHA and ANSI compliant training program on safe operating procedures. Prior to operating an aerial device you must read, understand and follow the safety and operating procedures found in the unit’s manual, unit decals and other materials provided with the unit. In addition, studying this program carefully with an open mind for safety as it pertains to your individual job needs can prevent serious work related injuries and can ultimately save your life or the life of a co-worker. Upon successful completion of the training, participants will receive a certificate and wallet card.
