MEWPs TRAINING
(Mobile Elevated Work Platforms)

When access is required at height it is often necessary to use some form of lift to raise either personnel or equipment. LOLER and Working at Heights Legislation requires that all staff working in these potentially dangerous conditions are suitably trained and protected.
It is a legal requirement for employers to provide adequate health and safety training for their employees.

The course consists of:

• Identify the basic construction, purpose and function of components and the purpose and use of all controls and gauges
• Relevant legislation
• Identify and comply with manufacturers’ instructions in accordance with the operator’s handbook and other information sources
• Explain all relevant documentation
• Explain all displayed information on the machine
• Carry out pre-use and running checks
• Operate controls from ground level and from within the working platform
• Manoeuvre the MEWP involving tight turns and limited access, using both forward and reverse motions
• Position the platform up to maximum working height
• Keep within safe working parameters
• Place the machine in and out of service condition
• Selection, use and inspection of harnesses
