Oakville Manlift Ticket - The Elevated Platforms and Manlifts Certification program helps to provide the required training on the safe operating procedures, work practice, regulations and rules regarding the daily activities for the operators of this machinery. The program has been designed for individuals who are actively involved in these activities or those who have a basic understanding of this machinery.
During the last couple of decades, aerial platforms and manlifts have become a common sight on construction job sites and in industrial maintenance applications. These equipment provide an easy way to lift workers near what must be done on a stable platform apparatus, allowing staff to do tasks with greater comfort and safety rather than being perched on top of ladders or scaffoldings.
Similar to every other tool, manlifts are just safe when they are used correctly. As they elevate staff above ground level or floor, accidents could happen easily and this can lead to serious death or injuries for both the operators of the manlift and any passerby who might be unlucky enough to be standing below.
Manlifts come in a variety of models. Nearly all fit into 1 or 2 categories: the scissor lift, which is capable of moving up and down and the articulating boom lift, that could move both horizontally and vertically.
