New ALI Lifting It Right: School Edition lift safety training course available exclusively from S/P2

Lifting It Right: School Edition is an interactive, online course that covers the wide variety of lift types used in professional vehicle service and repair shops, proper lifting and lowering, and the importance of planned lift maintenance. A narrator guides the student through each section, highlighting safety measures with easy-to-understand instructions and relevant scenarios. The student learns which lifts work best for certain jobs, as well as best practices for spotting a vehicle, selecting proper adapters and working under the vehicle. Real-world scenarios with corresponding questions are presented throughout to gauge comprehension. At the conclusion of the program, a certificate of completion is generated and stored online. “Safety is clearly important to S/P2, so teaming up with the Automotive Lift Institute to provide comprehensive lift training fits perfectly with our goals,” says Kyle Holt, president of S/P2. Lifting It Right: School Edition is available for schools to purchase at SP2.org.
