Boom Lift Training Alberta

Boom Lift Training Alberta - Elevated work platforms, also called aerial platforms, allow workers to perform tasks at heights which will otherwise be unreachable. There are various kinds of lifts designed for different site applications and conditions. If carelessly operated, elevated work platforms could lead to fatality or serious injury. The most common causes of related accidents are electrocution, falls, tip-overs and crushed body parts. Lift operators should be trained fully in techniques to avoid accidents while operating lifts.

The Aerial Lift Safety program offers needed resources in order to help those required to learn how to operate these devices more effectively. Through the course, participants will be given thorough instruction. Kinds of lift covered include boom supported, scissor and articulating aerial lifts. The video presents the correct methods operators should 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 provincial, state and Government agency regulations and requirements. Course management and training techniques will be taught. The trainer will also become well versed in the technical aspects of aerial lift safety.

Parts of the Boom Lift Training course include both practical training and classroom training. 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 could be positioned totally beyond the base of the equipment. The theoretical part of the training is virtually identical for both kinds. The practical part of the training can be completed faster if just one type of machinery is utilized.

Elevating Work Platform Training Program Objectives:

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