Vaughan Boom Lift Training

Vaughan Boom Lift Training - Elevated work platforms, also referred to as aerial platforms, allow workers to carry out jobs at heights that will otherwise be unreachable. There are various styles of lifts designed for various site applications and conditions. If carelessly operated, elevated work platforms can lead to serious injury or death. The most common causes of related accidents are electrocution, falls, crushed body parts and tip-overs. Lift operators should be trained completely in procedures to avoid accidents during the operation of lifts.

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

Both classroom training and practical training are components of the Aerial Platform/Boom Truck Training program. Both sessions must 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 can be positioned entirely beyond the base of the equipment. The theoretical part of the training is virtually identical for both kinds. The practical training component could be finished more quickly if just one kind of equipment is utilized.

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 would help operators to efficiently use elevating work platforms whilst lessening the chances of a costly accident in the workplace. Trainees would review of business policies and applicable regulations, discuss Due Diligence, review Criminal Negligence and consequences to trainers, employers, employees and supervisors. Participants would review equipment features, operating procedures, stability, parking and charging/fueling procedures. Site-specific safety matters would be addressed.
