Tukwila Boom Lift Training

Tukwila Boom Lift Training - Aerial platforms or also known as elevated work platforms are devices which enable workers to carry out tasks and duties at elevated heights that would not be otherwise accessible. There are different aerial lifts on the market to carry out various applications under various site conditions. If operated carelessly, elevated work platforms can lead to serious injury or fatality. The most common reasons for related accidents are electrocution, falls, tip-overs and crushed body parts. Lift operators should be completely trained in procedures to avoid accidents while operating lifts.

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

The boom lift training course would help to deal with equipment reliability and employee safety, making use of materials that are completely compliant with your regional and local requirements and regulations. Course management and training techniques would be taught. The trainer would also become well versed in the technical aspects of aerial lift safety.

Parts of the Boom Lift Training course comprise both classroom training and practical training. 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 totally beyond the base of the equipment. The theoretical training part is virtually identical for both types. The practical training component can be completed more quickly if just one type of equipment is used.
