Save the date for the second Working at Height Conference Event in the USA. Co-organised by IPAF & KHL the event will once again take place at the Music City Center in Nashville, USA. The event is for: equipment rental managers & owners; safety professionals in the construction industry; access rental specialists; safety consultants and MEWP OEMs & distributors.
Before using a MEWP you must be trained to the applicable MEWP classification and be familiarised on the specific machine. Familiarisation is required on any MEWP that is significantly different in weight, height, length or complexity to the MEWP on which training took place. The operator, supervisor, ground person/rescuer, service engineer and demonstrator all need adequate familiarisation to undertake their duties.
MEWP overturn incidents often result in serious injuries or fatalities. Instability leading to overturn is commonly among the top four causes of lost time incidents (LTIs) annually, according to global data.
