Frequently
Asked Questions
Who needs to take Scissor Lift Training in BC?
In British Columbia, individuals who operate scissor lifts as part of their job responsibilities are obliged to undergo mandatory scissor lift training. This requirement extends beyond a mere best practice; it is a legal mandate stipulated by the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA). The OHSA imposes stringent workplace safety regulations, and scissor lift certification forms an essential element of this regulatory framework. This legal obligation serves the primary purpose of ensuring the welfare of workers and mitigating the potential hazards and injuries associated with working at elevated heights.
What is the difference between a boom lift and a scissor lift?
The primary difference between a scissor lift and a boom lift lies in their mobility and reach. Scissor lifts are characterized by their vertical lifting capability, moving straight up and down. They excel at providing stable platforms for tasks like maintenance and construction work at moderate heights. On the other hand, boom lifts, also known as cherry pickers, offer enhanced flexibility with a hydraulic arm that can extend both vertically and horizontally. This allows boom lifts to reach higher elevations and navigate around obstacles, making them suitable for tasks that require access to difficult-to-reach areas. In essence, scissor lifts are best for vertical elevation, while boom lifts are preferred when versatility and reach in various directions are essential.
Does a Scissor Lift Operator Certificate expire in BC?
Upon successful completion of this course, participants will receive a wallet card, valid for 3 years, indicating that they have met the training requirements mandated in the province of British Columbia. Participants are required to get re-certified before the 3-year expiration date on their card.
