Elevated Work Platforms (Aerial Lifts) Training
Program Description:The Elevated Platform Training program consists of a classroom training session and a practical training session. All participants must pass both sessions to become certified.
In Canada, two CSA Standards are involved, B354.2 Self-Propelled Elevating Work Platforms and B354.4 Self-Propelled Boom-Supported Elevating Work Platforms. Selfpropelled elevating work platforms refer to work platforms that cannot be positioned completely beyond the base on the machine. Self-propelled boom-supported elevating work platforms refer to platforms that can be positioned completely beyond the base of the machine. This theory training is quite similar for both types.
