Boom Lift Training Toronto

Boom Lift Training Toronto - Aerial platforms or likewise known as elevated work platforms are devices that enable workers to carry out duties and tasks at elevated heights which would not be otherwise accessible. There are different aerial lifts available to perform different applications under various site conditions. If not carefully operated, elevated work platforms could cause fatality or serious injury. The most common causes of related accidents are electrocution, falls, tip-overs and crushed body parts. Lift operators must be completely trained in procedures in order to prevent accidents while operating lifts.

The Aerial Lift Safety program provides required resources to help those required to learn how to operate these devices more effectively. Through the program, participants would be given thorough instruction. Types of lift covered comprise boom supported, scissor and articulating aerial lifts. The video presents the proper procedures operators should follow. Instruction focuses on pre-operational inspection, 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 state, government and provincial agency requirements and regulations. Course management and training methods will be taught. The trainer will also become well versed in the technical aspects of aerial lift safety.

Both practical training and classroom training are components of the Aerial Platform/Boom Truck Training course. Both sessions should be successfully finished 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 entirely beyond the base of the equipment. The theoretical training component is virtually identical for both types. The practical training part could be finished faster if just one type of machine is used.

Elevating Work Platform Training Program Objectives:

Aerial Platform/Boom Lift Training provides competency requirements for safely operating Boom-Type Elevating Work Platforms and Self-Propelled Elevating Work Platforms (for use on paved/slab surfaces). Training will help operators to efficiently use elevating work platforms whilst decreasing the possibilities of an expensive workplace accident. Trainees will review of applicable rules and company polices, talk about Due Diligence, review Criminal Negligence and consequences to trainers, employers, supervisors and workers. Participants will study equipment features, operating procedures, stability, parking and fueling/charging procedures. Site-specific safety problems would be dealt with.
