Aerial Work Platforms: Safe Operation of Scissor and Boom Lifts
|
|
|
This training identifies the safe operating procedures for scissor lifts and boom lifts. These elevated work platforms allow workers to safely perform various tasks and maintenance operations at heights that could not be reached by ladder.
Various lift styles are designed for different applications and site conditions, but they all have one thing in common: the potential for serious injury or death when operated unsafely. Injuries can include electrocution, falls, crushed body parts, and tip-overs.
This course details procedures that prevent these types of incidents. Topics include the stability factors, preventing a tip-over, the inspection process, safe operating procedures, and using the proper PPE and fall protection.
