Manlift Certification Burlington

Manlift Certification Burlington - The Manlifts and Elevated Platforms program provides training on the regulations, rules and correct application of safe operating procedures and work practices included in daily activities for people who work using this machine. The course has been designed for people who are actively involved in these activities or individuals who have a basic knowledge of this machine.

Aerial platforms and manlifts have become integral and common equipment in industrial settings during the last few decades. These machinery provide an easy way to lift workers near what must be carried out on a stable platform apparatus, enabling staff to carry out tasks with greater safety and comfort rather than being perched on top of ladders or scaffoldings.

Like every other tool, manlifts are just safe when they are used correctly. Because they elevate workers above floor or ground level, accidents can easily take place and this could lead to serious death or injuries for both the operators of the manlift as well as any passerby who may not be lucky enough to be standing underneath.

Manlifts come in various models. Most fit into 1 or 2 categories: the scissor lift, which is capable of moving up and down and the articulating boom lift, which can move both vertically and horizontally.

Protecting Workers

It is very important to offer right training for you operators. Many businesses which rent these machinery would provide on site training. Every worker who would be working on the machine or operating it has to receive training in safe operations. It is also vital that only those employees who have received training should be authorized to operate the controls. Operating procedures and communication rules should be clear. Therefore, workers on the ground must not operate controls without the approval and knowledge of any staff in the basket.

The employees that occupy the basket would be required to wear the right fall protection gear which consists of a harness and lanyard. The fall protection connects to the manlift easily. The worker should ensure that he or she has made any adjustments needed to reflect the change in fall distance if there are changes in the height of the work area.

To make certain that the manlift is in good operating condition, manlifts should be tested and inspected every day. Prior to the machine being used, whatever defects need to be re-checked and fixed.
