Manlift Ticket British Columbia - The Elevated Platforms and Manlifts Certification program helps to provide the necessary training on the safe operating procedures, work practice, 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 individuals who have a basic understanding of this equipment.
Aerial platforms and manlifts have become common and integral machinery in industrial settings in the last few decades. These equipment provide an easy way to lift employees close to what needs to be done on a stable platform apparatus, allowing employees to perform tasks with greater comfort and safety rather than being perched on top of ladders or scaffoldings.
Similar to every other tool, manlifts are only safe when they are utilized properly. Because they elevate workers above ground level or floor, accidents can easily occur and this might cause serious injuries or death for both the manlift operators and whoever passerby who might not be lucky enough to be standing underneath.
There are various types of manlifts. Most fall into 1 of 2 categories: the articulating boom lift, that has the capability of both horizontal and vertical movement and the scissors lift, that is capable of moving up and down.
