London Manlift Certification

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

manlifts and aerial platforms have become common and integral machinery in industrial settings in the past few decades. These machinery provide an easy way to lift employees close to what needs to be performed on a stable platform apparatus, enabling workers to perform tasks with greater comfort and safety rather than being perched on top of scaffolding or ladders.

The manlift is like other industrial devices in that they are safe if used correctly. Since they lift employees above ground level or floor, accidents could easily take place and this can lead to serious fatalities or injuries for both the manlift operators and any passerby who may not be lucky enough to be standing beneath.

Manlifts come in different models. Most fit into 1 or 2 categories: the scissor lift, that is capable of moving up and down and the articulating boom lift, that can move both vertically and horizontally.

Protecting Workers

Correct training is very important when it comes to safety matters. Many of the companies that rent manlifts will offer training at the jobsite. Each worker who will be working on the machine or operating it should receive training in safe operations. It is likewise vital that just those workers who have received training must be authorized to operate the controls. Communication rules and operating procedures should be clear. Hence, workers on the ground should not operate controls without the knowledge and approval of any employees inside the basket.

The workers that occupy the basket would be required to wear the proper fall protection gear that includes a harness and lanyard. The fall protection attaches to the manlift easily. The employee has to ensure that she or he has made whatever adjustments needed to reflect the change in fall distance if there are changes in the height of the work area.

Manlifts need to be inspected and tested each day to make certain they are in safe operating condition. Prior to the machinery being utilized, any defects have to be re-inspected and fixed.
