Aerial Work Platform Training and Accreditation

Having the correct training for the powered access equipment you hire or use is essential. Not only is it an industry requirement that could result in legal issues and loss of insurance should you allow an untrained operative to use your equipment, but there is a very real and serious aspect of safety to consider when using aerial work platforms.

If you have a need for powered access equipment but do not have staff correctly trained to the appropriate standard then training can often be set up within just a few days to ensure your schedule can continue with minimal disruption. The best way to do this is to check with your local powered access rental company or provider. Many companies provide a range of powered access training services for the equipment they rent or sell. This can take place at your own site or at specialist training facilities. There should be the choice of specialised training for individual machines as well as IPAF (International Powered Access Federation) and PASMA (Prefabricated Access Suppliers’ and Manufacturers’ Association) training to provide your staff with the proper accreditation and certification.

There are two degrees of training that you must comply to when using aerial work platforms; general training and familiarisation training.

General training prepares an operative to use a scissor lift, boom lift, personnel lift or trailer-mounted lift. This includes both classroom/formal training as well as practical/hands-on training. One of the benefits of training at a facility is that your staff will have the opportunity to train on a wide variety of aerial work platforms and lifts to maximise their experience. General training covers the following elements:

Operation of an aerial platform under supervision and direction of a qualified person.
Operation of an aerial platform for a sufficient period of time to learn proficient use of all its functions.
The regulations and standards relating to each kind of aerial platform.
The need to perform workplace inspections.
Common hazards and how to recognise/avoid them.
The proper use of equipment manuals.
Operator instructions and warnings.
How to carry out a pre-start inspection
The importance of stability and factors that may affect this.
The use of different personal protective equipment.
The components of different equipment.
The safe use of equipment.
How to select the correct powered access equipment for each job.
How to use larger machines, including the use of outriggers, stabilisers, extendable axles, envelope management systems, load-moment devices and dual capacity.

 

Familiarisation training prepares an operative to use a specific make and model of aerial work platform by assessment of the equipment and its instruction manual, instructed and directed by a qualified person. This may include:

Location of weather-resistant compartment to access the machine’s manual.
The function and purpose of all controls on the unit.
The use of safety devices and specific operating elements of the machine.

Increasing your staff’s knowledge of the different types of aerial work platform means that you will no longer need to outsource operation of powered access lifts or require supervision for certain jobs. Correct training also ensures that your operators are able to complete their work safely, quickly and efficiently, whether they are using a scissor lift, boom or cherry picker or personnel lift.

Don’t take a risk with powered access training – book your training course today and provide your staff with valuable skills and expertise while keeping them safe and protecting your company from legal and insurance issues.

Why Custom Metal Fabricators Are Better

Metalwork has been of great help to almost every commercial, industrial and home use and this is because metal is more durable and does not disintegrate for a long period of time. What’s great about metal is that it can be worked upon to make an assortment of products and this what makes it very popular in several industries. With a growing number of metal fabricators these days, they want to make sure that they have something to offer that will set them apart from their competitors.

All About Scissor Lifts

A scissor lift is an aerial work platform that moves vertically to enable users to reach heights of up to 20m. The mechanism creates a criss-cross ‘X’ pattern as it rises and lowers, much like a pair of scissors. Scissor lifts are used for construction, maintenance, repairs and general access to high or difficult areas and are utilised by many different industries.

Register at www.liftshowcase.com. Maximum Capacity Media President Guy Ramsey interviews key vendors and manufacturers their thoughts on an Equipment Showcase open to buyers in the industry. The upcoming Showcase, which will take place in Scottsdale, Ariz., from Nov. 8-9, 2011, will focus on aerial work platforms, aerial lift safety, aerial lift training, aerial lift rental, telehandler attachments, telehandler bucket, telehandler rental, boom truck crane, and boom truck rental, among other topics. Additionally, engine vendors, brake companies, remote control manufacturers, and a whole host of other products will be on display and demonstrated at the Equipment Showcase.

The TL49J from Snorkel, Elwood, Kan., got its start when it was introduced by UpRight about 10 years ago. Subsequently, both UpRight and Snorkel were acquired by the UK-based Tanfield Group, and the TL Series trailer-mounted boom lifts continued to be branded under the UpRight name until Tanfield announced that all aerial work platforms would be brought under the Snorkel umbrella in North America in 2009. Since then, production of the TL Series has moved from Fresno, Calif., to Snorkel’s manufacturing facility in Kansas, where all key features of the units have been maintained, but the products now feature the Snorkel insignia and the orange-and-white paint scheme. Video taken at the 2010 Lift and Access Equipment Showcase.

Introduced in 2001, the Genie TZ-50 is one of two trailer-mounted articulating booms offered by Terex Aerial Work Platforms, Redmond, Wash. The TZ-50 has a 50-foot platform height and 29’2″ of outreach. Weighing 4400 pounds as standard (look to the serial plate for the exact weight of each individual lift), this unit can be towed by a large SUV or pickup truck.

I am a trainer for our company and I train countless people in aerial work platforms (primarily scissor lifts). If anyone has pictures and/or videos to share, it would be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

P.S.: I wasn’t sure which category to put this under.
Caractacus… I already have that one. I’m looking for some gruesome pictures to really drive the message home.

Aerial access platform

 

Expanding on their range of Handling Equipment, Midland Pallet Trucks now stock Aerial work Platforms.

Aerial Work Platforms are ideal for environments such as Warehouses, Factories, Distribution centres, Shops, Shopping centres, cinemas, Airports, Office complexes and public buildings including Hospitals and Schools.

These Mobile Aerial Work Platforms are also known as AWP’s, electrically Powered Access Platforms, Aerial Platforms, or Cherry Pickers and have typical applications such as order picking, decorating, and electrical contract work such as changing bulbs or general maintenance work.

With a tight turning radius and compact size, it gives them maximum manoeuvrability making them ideal for difficult environments, such as between racking and in a crowded environment. These platforms can therefore be moved and operated by one person.

Using these units can replace the need of ladders, steps, kick stools allowing easier access to awkward places, fitting through standard doors and into lifts, whilst enabling the user to work safely and concentrate on the job.

Midland Pallet Trucks keep 3 size options in stock, all designed for a single person with a 240kg capacity. all units are supplied with a 12 month LOLER certificate to comply with all necessary regulations. They are supplied with an incorporated mains charger with battery charge indicator, a levelling indicator and outriggers.

These Aerial work platforms also come supplied with emergency down and stop buttons, with height adjustment at the touch of a button, so saving time and effort.

Using these units can replace the need of ladders, steps, kick stools allowing easier access to awkward places, fitting through standard doors and into lifts, whilst enabling the user to work safely and concentrate on the job.
