St Catharines Manlift Ticket - The Elevated Platforms and Manlifts Certification program helps to provide the needed training on the work practices, safe operating procedures, regulations and rules regarding the daily activities for the operators of this machinery. The course has been designed for individuals who are actively involved in these activities or individuals who have a basic understanding of this machine.
In the last couple of decades, aerial platforms and manlifts have become a common sight in industrial maintenance applications and on construction job sites. These machinery provide an easy way to lift staff close to what needs to be done on a stable platform apparatus, allowing workers to carry out tasks with greater safety and comfort rather than being perched on top of ladders or scaffoldings.
Like every other tool, manlifts are just safe if they are used properly. Because they elevate staff above floor or ground level, accidents can easily take place and this could cause serious injuries or death for both the operators of the manlift as well as whoever passerby who may not be lucky enough to be standing underneath.
There are different types of manlifts. Nearly all fall into 1 of 2 categories: the articulating boom lift, that has the capability of both horizontal and vertical movement and the scissors lift, which is capable of moving up and down.
