Aerial Lift Certification Red Deer

Aerial Lift Certification Red Deer - Aerial Lift Certification is for people who need an in-depth understanding of aerial lift safety. Inspectors and operators, construction craftsmen, supervisors and maintenance workers need to perform a training and certificate program. Provincial, state and federal regulations require companies to be certified to be able to do in-house aerial lift inspections.

Most workers who are required to work at elevated level will normally use the same means to get to these desired heights, regardless of the kind of work which has to be done. Scissor lifts and aerial lifts are the mechanized devices made use of to lift equipment and employees to elevated sites.

Cherry pickers or bucket trucks are boom-supported aerial platforms. The primary hazards associated to boom-operated platforms are tip-overs, falls and electrocutions. Certification guarantees that workers who use aerial lifts are properly trained to safely operate the machine. Training also ensures that workers know how to maintain aerial work platforms based on the instructions of the manufacturer.

Aerial lift training certification programs would include the following: Aerial lifts that are mounted to vehicles, Boom-supported aerial lifts and scissors lifts. Trainees would learn about safe operating procedures and will gain knowledge about the dangers that normally lead to aerial lift accidents. They will become technically competent in the various types of aerial lifts, as well as components and terminology. From selecting the best aerial lift for the task to interpreting rated capacity charts, the certification program will provide workers with all that they have to know to do their work safely.

Supervisors and inspectors who have the job to check aerial lift devices need to know how to check gears, booms, structural parts, operating mechanisms, control systems and functions, braking systems, power plants, pins and shafts, attachments, hydraulic, pneumatic and electric parts, operator aids and emergency safety devices, and so forth. Training would include the following: the role of the inspector in reducing accidents and liability exposure; how to perform a pre-use, monthly and annual inspection; how to write inspection reports; how to interpret and apply regulations about aerial lift safety standards; inspection procedures, checklists and techniques; understanding and applying the three levels of aerial lift inspection; following record keeping requirements; and when to remove defective aerial lifts from service.
