Mississauga Manlift Ticket - The Elevated Platforms and Manlifts Certification course helps to provide the needed training on the work practices, safe operating procedures, rules and regulations regarding the daily activities for the operators of this equipment. The course has been designed for people who are actively involved in these activities or those who have a basic understanding of this machinery.
In the last couple of decades, manlifts and aerial platforms have become a common sight in industrial maintenance applications and on construction job sites. These equipment provide an easy way to lift workers near what has to be done on a stable platform apparatus, enabling employees to perform tasks with greater comfort and safety rather than being perched on top of ladders or scaffoldings.
The manlift is like other industrial devices in that they are safe when used properly. Because they elevate employees above ground level or floor, accidents can take place easily and this may lead to serious death or injuries for both the operators of the manlift and any passerby who might be unlucky enough to be standing below.
Manlifts come in a variety of types. Nearly all 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.
