Port Coquitlam Manlift Ticket - The Elevated Platforms and Manlifts Certification program helps to provide the required training on the work practices, safe operating procedures, rules and regulations regarding the daily activities for the operators of this equipment. The program has been designed for individuals who are actively involved in these activities or those who have a basic understanding of this machine.
During the past couple of decades, manlifts and aerial platforms 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 has to be done on a stable platform apparatus, enabling workers to carry out tasks with greater safety and comfort rather than being perched on top of scaffolding or ladders.
Like every other tool, manlifts are just safe if they are used correctly. Because they elevate workers above ground level or floor, accidents can easily happen and this can result in serious injuries or fatalities for both the manlift operators and any passerby who may not be lucky enough to be standing underneath.
Manlifts come in a variety of types. The majority fit into 1 or 2 categories: the scissor lift, which is capable of moving up and down and the articulating boom lift, that can move both horizontally and vertically.
