Kitchener Boom Lift Training

Kitchener Boom Lift Training - Elevated work platforms, likewise referred to as aerial platforms, enable workers to carry out jobs at heights which will otherwise be not reachable. There are various styles of lifts intended for different site conditions and applications. If operated carelessly, elevated work platforms can result in death or serious injury. The most common reasons for related accidents are electrocution, falls, crushed body parts and tip-overs. Lift operators must be completely trained in techniques to be able to avoid accidents while operating lifts.

The Aerial Lift Safety program offers required resources to help people required to learn how to operate these devices more effectively. Through the program, participants will receive thorough instruction. Types of lift covered comprise boom supported, scissor and articulating aerial lifts. The video presents the proper methods operators should follow. Instruction focuses on pre-operational inspection, protection against falls, stability of the device and safe driving procedures.

The course addresses employee safety and equipment reliability. All instructional materials are compliant with state, government and provincial agency requirements and regulations. Training techniques and course management will be taught. The trainer will also become well versed in the technical aspects of aerial lift safety.

Both practical training and classroom training are parts of the Aerial Platform/Boom Truck Training course. Both sessions must be successfully completed for the participant to receive a certificate of achievement.

The difference between self-propelled elevating work platforms and self-propelled boom-supported elevating work platforms is that, on the latter type, work platforms could be positioned completely beyond the base of the machinery. The theoretical training component is virtually identical for both types. The practical training part can be finished faster if just one type of machinery is used.

Elevating Work Platform Training Program Objectives:

Aerial Platform/Boom Lift Training provides competency requirements for safely operating Boom-Type Elevating Work Platforms and Self-Propelled Elevating Work Platforms (for use on paved/slab surfaces). Training will help operators to efficiently use elevating work platforms whilst lessening the possibilities of an expensive workplace accident. Trainees will review of applicable rules and company polices, talk about Due Diligence, study Criminal Negligence and consequences to employers, trainers, supervisors and employees. Participants will study machine features, stability, operating procedures, fueling/charging procedures and parking. Site-specific safety concerns would be dealt with.
