Markham Boom Lift License

Markham Boom Lift License

Markham Boom Lift License - To be able to operate an aerial boom lift, operators must be licensed through training which could be obtained using both classroom sessions and practical training and by obtaining a boom lift license. Instruction should be given with respect to the type of aerial lift which will be used on the job. A License is needed for anyone who operates or works on an aerial boom lift.

Various types of vehicle-mounted aerial devices consist of extensible boom platforms, aerial ladders, vertical towers, articulating boom platforms, and whichever combination of these types.

When utilizing a boom lift, there are several basic safety rules which apply to all boom lifts. Safety of the worker is a main concern whilst they are working within the basket. The worker should at all times have on a body harness and lanyard, attaching it to the basket or boom. Never tie off to an equipment, an adjacent pole or a structure. Staff must stand on the floor of the basket, and never sit or climb on the edge of the basket. The load restrictions of the manufacturer should be adhered to.

Lift operators should be authorized to operate an aerial lift. The manufacturer's instruction manual must be kept within the lift and the operator has to know all aspects of that particular unit. Operators are responsible for ensuring that safety procedures are followed in operating the lift. Testing lift controls everyday should be done. Set brakes and position outriggers (if they are used) on pads or a stable surface. If working on a slope, make use of wheel chocks.

The aerial lift vehicle should never be moved whilst a worker is inside the basket of an elevated boom, unless they are making use of machines that are specifically designed for this. Extensible boom platforms and articulating boom made use of as personnel carriers must have plainly marked, accessible, upper controls. Except in emergency circumstances, lower controls must not be utilized to override upper controls unless authorization has been given by the person within the lift.

While working from an aerial lift, do not wear pole or tree climbers.
The insulated part of the aerial lift should not be altered.
Make sure that the booms are carefully checked, that the machine is properly cradled and the outriggers are in the stowed position prior to moving.
Make sure that lifts being used in or near power lines are di-electrically tested and follow local regulations.
