Kingston Boom Lift Training

Kingston Boom Lift Training - Aerial platforms or elevated work platforms are devices which allow workers to carry out duties and tasks at elevated heights which will not be otherwise reachable. There are different aerial lifts available to carry out various applications under various site conditions. If operated carelessly, elevated work platforms can lead to fatality or serious injury. The most common reasons for related accidents are falls, electrocution, tip-overs and crushed body parts. Lift operators should be completely trained in procedures to be able to avoid accidents while operating lifts.

The Aerial Lift Safety course offers required resources to help individuals needing to learn how to operate these devices more effectively. Through the course, participants would receive thorough instruction. Types 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 check, stability of the device and safe driving procedures.

The program addresses employee safety and equipment reliability. All instructional materials are compliant with provincial, state and Government agency requirements and regulations. Training techniques and course management will be taught. The trainer would also 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 completed successfully for the participant to be given a certificate of achievement.

The self-propelled boom-supported elevating work platforms are different from the self-propelled elevating work platforms in that they are able to position their work platforms totally beyond the base of the machinery. The theoretical part of the training is almost the same for both types. The practical part of the training could be finished faster if just one type of machinery is used.

Elevating Work Platform Training Program Objectives:

For the safe operation of Boom-Type Elevating Work Platforms and Self-Propelled Elevating Work Platforms, boom lift training will help operators make use of their machines more effectively and will decrease the possibilities of workplace accidents. Trainees will review of applicable regulations and company polices, talk about Due Diligence, review Criminal Negligence and consequences to employers, trainers, employees and supervisors. Participants will study equipment features, stability, operating procedures, parking and charging/fueling procedures. Site-specific safety concerns will be addressed.
