Nanaimo Scissor Lift Operator Certification

Nanaimo Scissor Lift Operator Certification - North American regulators suggest that workplaces need operators of scissor lifts, booms or aerial work platforms to acquire certification training. Scissor lift operator certification is not mandatory, but there are benefits to making sure that this training is provided to all the operators.

To enable staff to get to high levels, the scissor lift is a work platform made along with a pantograph, which is a linked, folding support which shaped in an 'X' pattern. Upward movement occurs when pressure is applied to the outside of the lowest set of supports, propelling the work platform vertically by lengthening the 'X' pattern. A bridge extends from particular platforms in order to allow convenient access to the work site.

The platform descends to the ground by release of a manual valve. The platform descends through simple release of hydraulic or pneumatic pressure. This is the key reason that scissor lifts are the best equipment at worksites.

Both experienced and new operators could benefit from proper scissor lift training. This particular course can be tailored to focus particularly on the specific equipment models at your worksite. The trainees' certificate of training would list the models of machinery on which they trained.

Covered in the classroom instruction are the following topics: introduction to scissor lift training; authorization, attitude and rules and guidelines; Occupational Health safety; safety rules and common dangers; workbook and record of training (or also known as ROT)

The in-class session would end with a written exam.

The following areas practical hands-on training and instruction covers: pre-operational inspection; safety equipment;; function test checklist; operators instruction manual; regular maintenance and the practical session would conclude with a demonstration of proficiency.
