Scissor Lift / Man lift Training
This aerial lift training program is divided into two segments.
- Part one consists of an in class theoretical course which includes a competency evaluation (true & false test) and review.
- Part two consists of an on site evaluation which will verify the individuals ability to operate a specific Man lift, in a safe manner.
Part One: "Concepts of Safe and Efficient Operation"
The Purpose Of Scissor Lift Certification
Provide participants a general understanding of the safe and efficient operation of "Power Operated Mobile Work Platforms." Participants will be able to identify specific health and safety hazards associated with operating man lifts / boom lift.
Course Content:
Review related sections of the OHS Act, CSA Standards, and Scaffold Industry Association of Canada specifications.
- Operating unsafe equipment or perform unsafe acts.
- Outline fines & penalties for improper use of the equipment.
- Lifting device & mobile equipment definitions.
- Complete review of "fall arrest" required, and recommended.
- Pre-shift equipment inspection and work area survey requirements.
- Review site specific Hazards, and controls for safe operation of a Manlift.
- Review safety decals, load capabilities, and specific equipment requirements.
- Fifteen key elements for safe operation of a "Power Elevated Mobile Aerial Work Platform."
How long does aerial lift certification take?
Theoretical aerial lift training takes approximately two hours. All training is delivered on site and scheduled to your convenience (any shifts).
Manlift Part Two: "Practical Evaluation"
Purpose:
All operators must successfully complete the theoretical portion of this program prior to being evaluated on site-specific equipment.
- Each individual will be tested to ensure they can safely and efficiently operate your site-specific equipment. Evaluations will be completed during regular working shifts, wherever possible. On successful completion of both parts one & two of this program, the participant will be certified as a "Power Operated Mobile Platform (Manlift) Operator."
