Scissor Lift Operator Certification Grande Prairie

Scissor Lift Operator Certification Grande Prairie - Regulations in North America normally suggest that operators of booms, scissor lifts or aerial work platforms all obtain operator certification. Scissor lift operator certification is not mandatory, but there are benefits to ensuring that this training is provided to all operators.

Scissor lift is a platform which moves vertically to be able to enable employees to get to high levels. Scissor lifts are made with a pantograph - linked, folding supports in an 'X' pattern. Upward movement happens when pressure is applied to the outside of the lowest set of supports, propelling the work platform vertically by elongating the 'X' pattern. A bridge extends from some platforms to be able to allow convenient access to the work place.

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

Operators who are both experienced or inexperienced will be able to get some benefit from right scissor lift training. A scissor lift operator certification program could be particularly designed to accommodate for those lifts used at your workplace. The trainees' certificate of training would list the models on which they trained.

The classroom instruction comprises the following subject matters: introduction to scissor lift training; attitude, rules and guidelines and authorization; Occupational Health safety; safety rules and common dangers; workbook and record of training (ROT)

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

Practical hands-on training includes instruction on the following: safety equipment; pre-operational inspection; regular maintenance; function checklist; operator's guidebook and the practical session will conclude with a proficiency demonstration.
