Saskatchewan Manlift Ticket - The Elevated Platforms and Manlifts Certification course helps to provide the needed training on the work practices, safe operating procedures, rules and regulations regarding the everyday activities for the operators of this equipment. The program has been designed for people who are actively involved in these activities or individuals who have a basic understanding of this machinery.
Aerial platforms and manlifts have become common and integral machines in industrial settings during the past few decades. These machines provide an easy way to lift employees close to what must be carried out on a stable platform apparatus, allowing employees to do tasks with greater safety and comfort rather than being perched on top of ladders or scaffoldings.
The manlift is like other industrial tools in that they are safe when utilized properly. As they elevate staff above floor or ground level, accidents could easily take place and this can result in serious death or injuries for both the operators of the manlift and any passerby who may be unlucky enough to be standing beneath.
There are various models of manlifts. The majority fall into 1 of 2 categories: the articulating boom lift, that has the capability of both horizontal and vertical movement and the scissors lift, which is capable of moving up and down.
