Do I meet the training requirements for the use of lifting platforms?

The first thing you should be clear about is that, if you want to work at height with a lifting machine, whatever it is, you must carry out training. This training will depend on the type of machine you are going to use.

At Liftisa we offer all kinds of training to be able to use the lifting machinery you have in your company. 6 courses 6 certificates.

OUR TRAINING
All our training is developed in three parts: an online theoretical part with tests in questionnaire format to be taken at the end of each topic, a practical, individual and personalized part that is carried out in person and a final written test composed of practical exercises and a skills test session.

The user’s skills will be evaluated using the premises defined to obtain the certificate.

The training is not carried out for a brand of machinery or model exclusively, it covers concepts common to most types of lifting machinery.

This training program focuses on the needs of the end user.

• • • We recommend renewing the operator’s certification every five years.
    • At the end of the course, and once the theoretical/practical tests have been passed, a Certificate of Aptitude will be awarded. This certificate is valid for working throughout the European Union.

This training complies with current legislation on the handling of lifting platforms:

• • • Royal Decree 1215/1997
    • Law on the Prevention of Occupational Risks 31/1995
    • UNE 54851:2016 standard.
    • UNE 58923:2020 Standard.

All practical training sessions are conducted to complete the theoretical learning course, offering the student the opportunity to demonstrate the skills learned in a safe environment and under the direct observation of our qualified trainers.
