Manlift Operator Training

Course outline

The outline below shows how manlift operator training is usually structured. Content, duration and the assessment method are agreed with the training provider before the course is scheduled.

• Theory

  Safe working practices, the hazards of the task, applicable site rules and how the equipment or system works.

• Practical

  Supervised exercises or demonstrations, including pre-use checks and correct use.

• Assessment

  Questions on the theory and observation of the practical work. The pass criteria are set by the training provider.

Typical topics for manlift operator training

The topics below are indicative. The provider's own manlift operator syllabus and the level of the course are confirmed on the quotation.

• Types of access platforms, their limits and the pre-use checks
• Safe set-up, positioning and operation, including controls and emergency lowering
• Hazards of work at height: edges, overhead obstacles, ground conditions and the fall protection your site requires

Who should attend

This manlift operator course suits people at several stages of their work.

• Newly appointed staff who will take up this role or task
• Experienced staff who need a refresher or a documented course record
• Supervisors and team leaders who want to understand the role and its controls
• Companies training several employees at once, on site or at a venue

Participants typically come from contractors, facilities teams and rental fleets that work at height from platforms.

Prerequisites

Requirements for manlift operator training depend on the training provider, your employer and the site. Typical points are:

• Basic fitness for the role and the ability to follow instructions in the language of the course
• A valid ID and any documents the training provider asks for
• Any minimum age, medical fitness or prior experience set by the provider, your employer or the site: please state these when you request the quotation
• Personal protective equipment for the practical part: confirm who provides it

Assessment and completion record

Training providers normally record attendance and the assessment result. What is issued at the end, for example a certificate of completion, how long it is valid and whether your employer, client or any authority recognises it, is decided by the training provider and by the organisation that needs it.

Tell us your requirement when you ask for a quotation. It is confirmed in the quotation rather than assumed, and this page does not state or imply any accreditation or approval.
