Do you offer onsite corporate training?

We will conduct scissor lift or boom truck training anywhere in North America. It is advisable that operators be trained on the scissor lifts or boom trucks they will be assigned to use. Use of platforms with different capacities, or different maneuverability etc. does little to ensure safe use of the aerial work platforms at your plants. Practical testing is based of the conditions at your plants and the functions performed at your plants.

How often do Scissor Lift operators have to train in Canada?

The Occupational Health and Safety Act requires those operating lifting devices such as a manlift to be competent. 

CSA standards B354.2 Self Propelled Elevating Work Platforms and B354.4 Self-Propelled Boom-Supported Elevating Work Platforms require that only qualified personnel who have been trained regarding the inspection, operation, and application of an aerial platform, including the recognition and avoidance of hazards associated with the operation, shall operate an aerial platform.
