Do not allow students to operate the lift without visually observing them set the lift points correctly. Verify! Have the students check that all persons are away from the vehicle by yelling "Clear!" Observe them operate the lift to raise it to the first safety and stop. Secure the lift at the first safety latch point and verify  that the lift points are correct and that the vehicle is properly supported.

The vehicle is safely lifted. Confirm this to your students.
