Windsor Boom Lift Training

Windsor Boom Lift Training - Aerial platforms or elevated work platforms are devices which allow workers to perform duties and tasks at elevated heights that would not be otherwise reachable. There are different aerial lifts on the market to perform various applications under different site conditions. If operated carelessly, elevated work platforms could lead to fatality or serious injury. The most common reasons for related accidents are falls, electrocution, crushed body parts and tip-overs. Lift operators must be trained fully in techniques to be able to avoid accidents during the operation of lifts.

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

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

Both classroom training and practical training are components of the Aerial Platform/Boom Truck Training course. Both sessions should be successfully finished 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 part of the training is almost the same for both types. The practical component of the training could be finished more quickly if only one kind of machinery is used.
