Calgary Boom Lift Training

Calgary Boom Lift Training - Elevated work platforms, also referred to as aerial platforms, enable workers to carry out tasks at heights which will otherwise be unreachable. There are various styles of lifts meant for different site conditions and applications. If not carefully operated, elevated work platforms can lead to death or serious injury. The most common causes of related accidents are electrocution, falls, crushed body parts and tip-overs. Lift operators should be completely trained in techniques to be able to avoid accidents while operating lifts.

Aerial Lift Safety program is designed for people who have to operate the devices more safely and effectively. The program provides thorough instruction about the most used lifting devices in the industry.. Kinds of lift covered comprise articulating, boom supported and scissor aerial lifts. The video presents the right techniques operators should follow. Instruction focuses on pre-operational inspection, protection against falls, 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. Training methods and course management would be taught. The trainer will also become well versed in the technical aspects of aerial lift safety.

Both classroom training and practical training are parts of the Aerial Platform/Boom Truck Training program. Both sessions must be successfully finished 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 entirely beyond the base of the equipment. The theoretical part of the training is nearly the same for both kinds. The practical part of the training can be completed more quickly if only one kind of machinery is utilized.

Elevating Work Platform Training Program Objectives:

For safely operating Boom-Type Elevating Work Platforms and Self-Propelled Elevating Work Platforms, boom lift training would help operators utilize their machinery more effectively and will decrease the possibilities of workplace accidents. Trainees would review of applicable regulations and business polices, discuss Due Diligence, review Criminal Negligence and consequences to employers, trainers, supervisors and employees. Participants will review equipment features, operating procedures, stability, parking and charging/fueling procedures. Site-specific safety concerns will be addressed.
