  • 14932: What is meant by Recovery?

    Recovery can be defined as the retrieval/lowering of a platform from the elevated position to the transport/stowed position, or a place of safety with or without personnel in the platform. The lowering of the platform is done via the ground controls, or if they are inoperative, the emergency/auxiliary lowering system. Examples of when recovery is required:

    • Medical incident or emergency
    • MEWP malfunction
    • Load sensing system has activated meaning the platform controls are inoperative
    • Entrapment of an operator
    • A platform occupant suspended in a safety harness
    • Operator error
