Handling the so-called lifts is associated with a high responsibility on the part of the operator. Although working with these devices may seem relatively easy, in fact it requires a lot of knowledge about the construction of their individual elements, health and safety rules, strength and stability of platforms. For this reason, operators of aerial work platforms must have special qualifications confirmed by an exam. The organization of such examinations in Poland is carried out by the Office of Technical Inspection.
To make it easier for future operators to prepare for the exam, our Center has prepared a course, the program of which takes into account the UDT examination requirements. Participation in the course significantly increases the chances of a positive result and gaining credit for increases.
Course program for aerial work platforms
Students participate in lectures conducted by qualified instructors of the Center. As part of the theoretical classes, they learn what elements the lifts consist of, what types of devices are used for individual works, how to use the operating manual, how to follow the health and safety rules. The theoretical training is conducted in a way that activates the participants: the instructors give numerous examples, ask questions, and conduct tests to check the participants' level of knowledge. This part of the classes can also be conducted remotely.
After theoretical classes, students participate in practical exercises at the Center's own maneuvering yard. Here they have the opportunity to practice the operation of the platforms in practice and check how their individual elements work.
In addition, during and after the course, future lift operators can use materials on the learning platform. These include sample tests, prepared on the basis of examination questions provided by the UDT.
At the end of the course, the Office of Technical Inspection, in cooperation with the Center, organizes a theoretical and practical exam for willing participants. Persons who pass the exam with an appropriate result receive the authorization to operate aerial work platforms, valid for 5 years.
