Sudbury Manlift Ticket - The Elevated Platforms and Manlifts Certification program helps to provide the required training on the safe operating procedures, work practice, rules and regulations regarding the everyday activities for the operators of this machinery. The course has been designed for individuals who are actively involved in these activities or those who have a basic understanding of this machine.
In the past couple of decades, manlifts and aerial platforms have become a common sight in industrial maintenance applications and on construction job sites. These equipment provide an easy way to lift employees near what needs to be performed on a stable platform apparatus, allowing staff to perform tasks with greater safety and comfort rather than being perched on top of scaffolding or ladders.
Similar to every other tool, manlifts are just safe when they are used properly. Because they elevate workers above floor or ground level, accidents could occur easily and this may lead to serious injuries or fatalities for both the manlift operators and any passerby who may not be lucky enough to be standing beneath.
Manlifts come in different models. Nearly all fit into 1 or 2 categories: the scissor lift, that is capable of moving upward and downward and the articulating boom lift, which could move both vertically and horizontally.
