Are you servicing the MEWP safety in the field? Mobile elevating work platform (MEWP) field servicing often carries higher risks then workshop servicing.

In situations with restricted visibility, use a spotter to guide you into position.

Be safe in the workshop. Ensure all work on MEWPs is carried out safely.

Keep all occupants safe. Be aware of all platform occupants when moving the MEWP.

Is the Nominated Ground Rescue Person familiarised? MEWPs are all different. Learn and practice the ground controls and the auxiliary/emergency lowering controls and procedures on your machine.

Do not use a damaged harness, lanyard or connector. Always conduct a pre-use check before using your personal fall protection equipment (PFPE).

Be street smart! Manage vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Create a safe working zone.

Always check ground loading and use the IPAF calculator to identify if spreader pads are required, determine the correct size of spreader pad.

Working at height is a high-risk activity, take care of your people and be responsible for safety with IPAF's help. IPAF has a range of Andy Access posters, in multiple languages, to help your workforce, covering important mobile elevating work platform (MEWP) and mast climbing work platform (MCWP) safety topics. All to help keep operators safe and prevent accidents.

Attach Your Lanyard: Always attach the lanyard in boom type machines.

Do not jump out of the platform. Always use the correct exit gate and step out using three points of contact.

Caution when loading and unloading. Always plan for a safe delivery.

Danger keep well clear. Operate from the platform or stand clear to avoid injury.

Know your machine. Familiarization helps prevent incorrect use.

Overhead obstructions. Always be aware and avoid crush hazards when moving the platform.

Register pre-owned machines. Make sure you register with the manufacturer to get product updates.

Caution with guardrails. Be careful not to trap your fingers when lowering or raising guardrails.

Pre-use inspection! Make sure the machine is operating properly, before starting work.
