This document is intended to highlight the relevant hazards and associated risks when a MEWP is to be used in public areas, which are often more challenging to control than other work sites. Identify measures that can be implemented to eliminate or reduce the risk of an incident or injury when using a MEWP in locations where public and/or vehicles are not prohibited, ie not on fixed construction sites or defined commercial premises.
A campaign emphasising the importance of working safely to avoid falls from the platform when using MEWPs has been launched by IPAF at its 2022 Summit in London, UK.
