Cambridge Scissor Lift Operator Certification

Cambridge Scissor Lift Operator Certification - North American regulators suggest that workplaces need operators of booms, scissor lifts or aerial work platforms to obtain certification training. Scissor lift operator certification is not mandatory, but there are benefits to making sure that this particular training is provided to all of the operators.

To enable personnel to get to high levels, the scissor lift is a work platform designed along with a pantograph, that is a linked, folding support that shaped in an 'X' pattern. Upward movement happens when pressure is applied to the outside of the lowest set of supports, propelling the work platform vertically by elongating the 'X' pattern. A bridge extends from some platforms to allow convenient access to the work place.

With the release of the manual valve, the platform is able to descend to the ground. The decsension is achieved by the simple release of pneumatic or hydraulic pressure. This is the main reason that scissor lifts are the equipment of choice at worksites.

Both experienced and new operators could benefit from right scissor lift training. This particular program can be tailored to focus particularly on the particular machine models at your worksite. The trainees' certificate of training would list the models on which they trained.

Included in the classroom instruction are the following subject matters: rules and guidelines, authorization and attitude; introduction to scissor lift training; safety rules and common dangers; Occupational Health and Safety; workbook and record of training (ROT)

The in-class session will conclude with a written examination.

Practical hands-on training consists of instruction about the following: pre-operational inspection; safety equipment;; operator guidebook; regular maintenance; function test checklist; and the practical session will end with a proficiency demonstration.
