Ongoing operator training is part of the BCS “Best in Class” Safety Program. Recently several classes were provided for groups working on the LBJ Early College High School project due to project requirements.
BCS Worker Inspects Scissor Lift as part of Operator Training
The training consists of a classroom presentation, written test, hands-on practice and skills testing session. The classroom portion focuses on key information needed for safe operation of a scissor lift including potential hazards, use of ground guides and the importance of making good decisions that anticipate and mitigate risk. Operators are trained to understand, predict and avoid hazards. The hands-on portion provides the opportunity to practice skills in a safe environment under the direct observation and coaching from our trainer. Operator skills are evaluated as pass or fail. The training is specific to scissor lifts and covers concepts common to most types of scissor lifts. Other types of aerial lifts or MEWPs (Mobile Elevated Working Platforms) like Boom Lifts, required other specific training.
Each trainee must visually inspect the equipment, inspect the work area, perform a functions test and ensure that both manuals are on the scissor lift, prior to operating it. The BCS Safety Manuel requires all scissor lift operators to be tied off to the manufactures tie off point using a straight lanyard. This is also the recommended fall protection option for scissor lift operators from BCS trade partner Falltech.
