The construction, maintenance and inspection of manlift units in Canada is governed by the CSA‐B354
series of standards. These standards provide the OEM as great deal of leeway in regard to their recommendations and requirements for
NDT inspection and engineering certification. However, many prime contractors insist on maintenance, inspection and
certification requirements that exceed those typically set by the manufacturer
and insist on at least yearly NDT inspection and certification. We can
help! Whether you own a manlift or you are renting or leasing one, we have the personnel, the expertise and the tracking systems to
help you determine and trace the structural inspection history of the units brought to your site.
New criteria regarding fall arrest protection for workers in
manbaskets are being introduced. These criteria deal with the hazard of
ejection from the basket during motion or collision. Investigations revealed that fully half of all fatalities
involving manlifts resulted, not from the unit tipping over or collapsing, but from the personnel falling from the basket.
Codes and requirements were updated requiring anchor points within the backet for fall protection equipment, and a requirement for personnel to be tied off
within the basket so that they are unable to fall. Does your manbasket meet the new requirements?
Boom lifts, scissor lifts, bucket trucks, digger derricks or just plain manbaskets--it doesn't matter.
We can help you with your design, inspection and certification needs.
