Scissor Lift Operator Certification Victoria

Scissor Lift Operator Certification Victoria - Scissor lift refers to a platform that vertically moves to enable staff to have access to high levels. Scissor lifts are made with a pantograph - connected, folding supports 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 lengthening the 'X' pattern. A bridge extends from some platforms to allow convenient access to the work site.

With the release of the manual valve, the platform can descend to the ground. The decsension is done by simply releasing the pneumatic or hydraulic pressure. This is the key reason that scissor lifts are the machinery of choice at worksites.

Both experienced and new operators can benefit from proper scissor lift training. This course could be tailored to focus particularly on the specific equipment 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 topics: introduction to scissor lift training; authorization, attitude and rules and guidelines; Occupational Health safety; safety regulations and common hazards; workbook and record of training (or otherwise called ROT)

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