Whitby Boom Lift Training

Whitby Boom Lift Training - Elevated work platforms, also known as aerial platforms, allow workers to perform jobs at heights that would otherwise be inaccessible. There are different styles of lifts meant for different site applications and conditions. If operated carelessly, elevated work platforms can result in death or serious injury. The most common causes of related accidents are falls, electrocution, tip-overs and crushed body parts. Lift operators must be fully trained in techniques to be able to avoid accidents during the operation of lifts.

The Aerial Lift Safety program provides needed resources to help those required to learn how to operate these devices more effectively. Through the program, participants will receive thorough instruction. Kinds of lift covered include boom supported, scissor and articulating aerial lifts. The video presents the right procedures operators must follow. Instruction focuses on protection against falls, pre-operational inspection, safe driving procedure and stability of the device.

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

Both classroom training and practical training are parts of the Aerial Platform/Boom Truck Training program. Both sessions must be finished successfully 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 can be positioned completely beyond the base of the machinery. The theoretical training component is almost the same for both kinds. The practical component of the training can be finished faster if only one kind of equipment is utilized.

Elevating Work Platform Training Program Objectives:

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