MEWP’s are widely used in the workplace and are replacing ladders and tower scaffolds as the preferred method of access. However operators are often asked to use these machines without being given any formal training, and as a result, they are not aware of the safety precautions required or of the individual capabilities of the MEWP itself.

Quite apart from the obvious human cost of accidents, increased safety awareness brings real commercial benefits. Far from hindering operators in their work, it can and does, enhance productivity.

Operators, whose training and experience make them safe, anticipate potential difficulties and problems on the task ahead of them just as they foresee the hazards and dangers that could result in an accident.
