Description & Benefits

The Aerial Work Platform Training program is designed to teach operators how to safely use scissor and boom lifts. Operation of elevating work platforms in accordance with the legal requirements is a main focus.

Content Overview

The program is divided into two parts. Part One focuses on theory, with program content including the following:

• Legal requirements under the Occupational Health and Safety Act and Regulations
• Requirements of Canadian Standards Association Codes CAN3-B354.2 Self-Propelled Elevating Work Platforms for Use on Paved/Slab Surfaces and CAN3-B354.4 Boom-Type Elevating Work Platforms
• Pre-shift inspection of the elevating work platforms
• Precautions for lifting, lowering, and moving
• Safe operating practices and the use of emergency controls

This portion of the program concludes with a review of the information presented through individual completion of multiple-choice questionnaires. Participants must meet the mandatory 80% class performance standard.

Part Two is concerned with hands-on operator testing and evaluation, and is usually conducted in the days following the completion of Part One. In this portion of the operator training program, our instructor visits your facility to offer hands-on training and to evaluate trainees on a one-to-one basis for safety practices and operator competency. Certificates are issued to those who meet the standards of theory and hands-on sessions.

Length of Program
