Boom Lift Training Kamloops

Boom Lift Training Kamloops - Elevated work platforms, also called aerial platforms, enable workers to carry out jobs at heights that will otherwise be unreachable. There are various styles of lifts intended for various site applications and 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, tip-overs and crushed body parts. Lift operators must be completely trained in techniques to avoid accidents while operating lifts.

Aerial Lift Safety course is designed for people who must operate the devices more safely and effectively. The course provides thorough instruction on the most used lifting devices in the industry.. Kinds of lift covered consist of articulating, boom supported and scissor aerial lifts. The video presents the proper methods operators must follow. Instruction focuses on protection against falls, pre-operational inspection, stability of the device and safe driving procedures.

The course addresses equipment reliability and employee safety. All instructional materials are compliant with state, government and provincial agency requirements and regulations. Course management and training techniques would be taught. The trainer would also become well versed in the technical aspects of aerial lift safety.

Components of the Boom Lift Training program consist of both classroom training and practical training. Both sessions should be successfully completed 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 could be positioned entirely beyond the base of the machine. The theoretical training part is virtually identical for both kinds. The practical component of the training could be completed more quickly if just one kind of machinery 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 chances of an expensive accident in the workplace. Trainees would review of applicable rules and business polices, talk about Due Diligence, review Criminal Negligence and consequences to employers, trainers, supervisors and employees. Participants will study machine features, stability, operating procedures, parking and fueling/charging procedures. Site-specific safety matters would be dealt with.
