Boom Lift Training Ontario

Boom Lift Training Ontario - Elevated work platforms, also referred to as aerial platforms, allow workers to carry out tasks at heights which would otherwise be not reachable. There are various kinds of lifts designed for various site conditions and applications. If operated carelessly, elevated work platforms could result in serious injury or death. The most common reasons for related accidents are falls, electrocution, tip-overs and crushed body parts. Lift operators must be completely trained in procedures to prevent accidents while operating lifts.

The Aerial Lift Safety program provides required resources to be able to help those required to learn how to operate these devices more effectively. Through the course, participants would be given thorough instruction. Kinds of lift covered consist of boom supported, scissor and articulating aerial lifts. The video presents the correct methods operators should follow. Instruction focuses on pre-operational check, protection against falls, stability of the device and safe driving procedures.

The program addresses equipment reliability and employee safety. All instructional materials are compliant with government, provincial and state agency requirements and regulations. Training techniques and course management will be taught. The trainer will likewise know 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 should be successfully completed for the participant to be given 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 totally beyond the base of the machinery. The theoretical training part is nearly the same for both kinds. The practical training component could be completed faster if just one kind of machinery is used.

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 efficiently use elevating work platforms whilst decreasing the chances of an expensive workplace accident. Trainees would review of applicable regulations and business polices, discuss Due Diligence, review Criminal Negligence and consequences to trainers, employers, workers and supervisors. Participants would review machine features, operating procedures, stability, parking and fueling/charging procedures. Site-specific safety problems will be addressed.
