Langley Manlift Ticket - The Manlifts and Elevated Platforms program provides training on the rules, regulations and correct application of safe operating procedures and work practices involved in everyday activities for individuals who work utilizing this machinery. The program has been designed for people who are actively involved in these activities or individuals who have a basic understanding of this equipment.
Aerial platforms and manlifts have become integral and common machinery in industrial settings in the last few decades. These machinery provide an easy way to lift workers close to what should be performed on a stable platform apparatus, allowing staff 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 only safe if they are utilized correctly. As they lift staff above floor or ground level, accidents could easily take place and this may lead to serious injuries or fatalities for both the manlift operators as well as any passerby who may not be lucky enough to be standing beneath.
Manlifts come in different models. The majority fit into 1 or 2 categories: the scissor lift, which is capable of moving upward and downward and the articulating boom lift, which could move both vertically and horizontally.
