Personnel lift safety certification in Chicago?

Re: Personnel lift safety certification in Chicago?

Does anybody know where/when there might be personnel lift safety training & certification in the Chicago area? The usual Genie lift, scissor lift, etc. card.

We're only an hour from Milwaukee, so suggestions up there would also be welcome.
Call Local#2

Try calling the rental yards. Most of them can refer you to manufacturer-sponsored or private training/testing.

You think they will answer a question from a non member?

Why, Brother Bigler... how you talk!

A number of Locals sell training to technicians from outside their Local on a space-available basis. Some use it as a recruiting tool. And the most available union training may not be from the IATSE; I'd bet the IBEW or Carpenters have a lot more demand for this.

Sorry, I guess I assumed that they likely wouldn't. I have contacted a couple of other Locals about training information for our apprentice program and didn't get a response. I guess I assumed that the response from a non member would be even more cool, especially in a Union strong hold like Chicago.
