Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) are considered to be one of the safest means of enabling temporary work at height. When buying a pre-owned MEWP, it is essential to ensure that the equipment complies with the relevant safety legislation and standards/codes of practice requirements in the country or region where it will be operating, before it is used. Every MEWP must be supplied in a safe working condition, with all safety devices functional.

In this webinar, industry experts will introduce the campaign’s key messages, share real-world insights, and highlight practical steps operators and organisations can take to reduce risks and prevent incidents. Whether you're a manager, operator, or safety professional, this session will provide valuable guidance to help ensure safer working at height.
