Boom Lift Training Vancouver

Boom Lift Training Vancouver - Aerial platforms or elevated work platforms are devices which allow workers to perform duties and tasks at elevated heights that will not be otherwise reachable. There are various aerial lifts available to carry out various applications under different site conditions. If operated carelessly, elevated work platforms could result in serious injury or fatality. The most common causes of related accidents are electrocution, falls, tip-overs and crushed body parts. Lift operators must be fully trained in procedures to avoid accidents while operating lifts.

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

The course addresses employee safety and equipment reliability. All instructional materials are compliant with provincial, state and Government agency requirements and regulations. Course management and training methods will be taught. The trainer would likewise know the technical aspects of aerial lift safety.

Both classroom training and practical training are parts of the Aerial Platform/Boom Truck Training course. Both sessions should be completed successfully 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 could be positioned completely beyond the base of the equipment. The theoretical component of the training is nearly identical for both types. The practical part of the training could be finished faster if only one type of equipment is utilized.
