Toronto Manlift Ticket - The Manlifts and Elevated Platforms course provides training on the rules, regulations and proper application of safe operating procedures and work practices included in everyday activities for those who work with this equipment. The program has been designed for people who are actively involved in these activities or individuals who have a basic knowledge of this equipment.
During the last couple of decades, manlifts and aerial platforms have become a common sight on construction job sites and in industrial maintenance applications. These machinery provide an easy way to lift workers near what must be carried out on a stable platform apparatus, enabling employees to carry out tasks with greater safety and comfort rather than being perched on top of scaffolding or ladders.
The manlift is similar to other industrial devices in that they are safe if used correctly. As they lift workers above ground level or floor, accidents can happen easily and this can cause serious injuries or fatalities for both the manlift operators as well as any passerby who might not be lucky enough to be standing underneath.
There are different kinds of manlifts. The majority fall into 1 of 2 categories: the articulating boom lift, that has the capability of both vertical and horizontal movement and the scissors lift, which is capable of moving upward and downward.
