Boom Lift Training Burlington

Boom Lift Training Burlington - Aerial platforms or also known as elevated work platforms are devices that allow workers to perform tasks and duties at elevated heights that would not be otherwise accessible. There are a variety of aerial lifts available to perform various applications under various site conditions. If not carefully operated, elevated work platforms can lead to serious injury or death. The most common causes of 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 during the operation of lifts.

Aerial Lift Safety course is intended for people who have to operate the devices more safely and effectively. The course provides thorough instruction on the most used lifting devices within the industry.. Types of lift covered comprise articulating, boom supported and scissor 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 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 also become well versed in the technical aspects of aerial lift safety.

Parts of the Boom Lift Training program include both classroom training and practical training. Both sessions must be completed successfully for the participant to be given a certificate of achievement.

The self-propelled boom-supported elevating work platforms are different from the self-propelled elevating work platforms in that they are able to position their work platforms entirely beyond the base of the machinery. The theoretical training component is almost identical for both types. The practical training component could be finished sooner if just one kind of machine is utilized.
