Boom Lift Training Kelowna

Boom Lift Training Kelowna - Elevated work platforms, also called aerial platforms, enable workers to perform tasks at heights which will otherwise be inaccessible. There are different styles of lifts intended for various site applications and conditions. If carelessly operated, elevated work platforms could cause serious injury or death. The most common reasons for related accidents are falls, electrocution, tip-overs and crushed body parts. Lift operators should be trained fully in techniques to avoid accidents while operating lifts.

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

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

Components of the Boom Lift Training program include both practical training and classroom training. Both sessions should be successfully completed 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 machine. The theoretical component of the training is virtually identical for both kinds. The practical training component can be completed faster if just one type of equipment is utilized.
