Manlift Ticket Alberta - The Manlifts and Elevated Platforms course offers training on the rules, regulations and correct application of safe operating measures and work practices included in everyday activities for those who work utilizing this machinery. The program has been designed for people who are actively involved in these activities or those who have a basic knowledge of this equipment.
Aerial platforms and manlifts have become integral and common machines in industrial settings over the last few decades. These equipment provide an easy way to lift workers near what must be performed on a stable platform apparatus, allowing workers to perform tasks with greater comfort and safety rather than being perched on top of scaffolding or ladders.
Like every other tool, manlifts are only safe if they are utilized properly. Because they elevate employees above floor or ground level, accidents could easily take place and this may lead to serious death or injuries for both the manlift operators and any passerby who might not be lucky enough to be standing underneath.
There are various types of manlifts. The majority 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.
