Manlift Certification Victoria - The Manlifts and Elevated Platforms program provides training on the regulations, rules and correct application of safe operating measures and work practices included in everyday activities for people who work making use of this machinery. The course has been designed for individuals who are actively involved in these activities or individuals who have a basic knowledge of this machinery.

During the past 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 close to what should be performed on a stable platform apparatus, enabling staff to perform tasks with greater comfort and safety rather than being perched on top of ladders or scaffoldings.

The manlift is similar to other industrial tools in that they are safe when utilized correctly. As they lift staff above ground level or floor, accidents could occur easily and this might result in serious injuries or fatalities for both the operators of the manlift and any passerby who might be unlucky enough to be standing below.

Manlifts come in various kinds. The majority fit into 1 or 2 categories: the scissor lift, which is capable of moving up and down and the articulating boom lift, which could move both horizontally and vertically.

Protecting Employees

It is essential to provide right training for you operators. A lot of companies which rent these machines would provide on site training. Every worker who would be working on the equipment or operating it must receive training in safe operations. It is also important that just those employees who have received training should be authorized to operate the controls. Operating procedures and communication rules should be clear. Therefore, staff on the ground should not operate controls without the knowledge and approval of any staff inside the basket.

The staff that occupy the basket will be required to wear the proper fall protection gear which consists of a lanyard and harness. The fall protection attaches to the manlift easily. The worker should ensure that she or he has made whatever adjustments needed to reflect the change in fall distance if the height of the work area changes.

To make certain that the manlift is in good operating condition, manlifts must be inspected and tested each and every day. Prior to the equipment being utilized, whichever defects need to be re-inspected and repaired.
