Canada - Scissor Lift
Online Training Certification Course
OHS Safety Standards
From the highest rated and most trusted online training company - since 2008.
This scissor lift certification training presents an overview of the safety standards for aerial, boom, and scissor lift operation. It provides explanations of the various OHS lifting requirements, as well as Province and Territory specific regulations. Course content includes hazard identification, avoidance, and control, in addition to practical information on safe work practices.
Scissor lifts are work platforms that workers use to move vertically and complete work that is out of reach of other equipment. When not used properly, a scissor lift can present serious hazards to workers. Scissor lift safety depends on adequate training, considering equipment capabilities, and applying safe work practices.
This course is for:
Anyone who works with scissor lifts must receive scissor lift training. This includes, but is not limited to owners, drivers, supervisors, and workers. This online training course meets the requirements set forth by the Canada Occupational Health and Safety Act.
Case Study: A window washer was repositioning a self-propelled scissor lift using the controls on the platform. The platform was fully extended. The lift was equipped with an operational tilt sensor that automatically lowers the operator's lift platform when the tilt exceeds three degrees in any direction. The operator drove the lift onto an eight-degree slope. However, the wires leading to the tilt sensor had been intentionally disconnected, leaving the window washer without any tilt protection.
The scissor lift flipped sideways, throwing the window washer to the ground and killing him.
Governing Regulations
There are 14 jurisdictions in Canada - 1 federal, 10 provincial, and 3 territorial. Each jurisdiction has its own health and safety legislation. The Canada Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Regulations are the federal legislation enabled by the Canada Labour Code. OHS scissor lift training is covered in CSA B354.2. OHS has also created the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004 (OHS Act), which is a document that outlines workers' rights and responsibilities, including the right to stop work that is deemed hazardous or unsafe. OHS also lists the penalties and enforcement techniques to be used if these guidelines are not followed.
To supplement the overarching regulations created by OHS, individual provinces and territories often set their own regulations (in accordance with federal bodies) specific to their needs. Before implementing a scissor lift training program, ensure that you are familiar with the regulations specific to your province or territory.
