Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs), are a safe and effective means of access for undertaking temporary work at height tasks. It is important to remember a MEWP is only as safe as the person who is operating it. If this equipment is used incorrectly, unsafely or by inexperienced people, accidents and fatalities are more likely to happen.
This Toolbox Talk provides some safety measures which can reduce the risk of falls from the platform.

Stability is defined as “a condition in which the sum of the moments which tend to overturn the MEWP is less than the sum of the moments tending to resist overturning’. All MEWPs are designed to meet defined stability criteria and testing requirements that are critical to the safe use and operation. MEWP operator training curriculum must include the knowledge to understand factors affecting stability. MEWP stability is further ensured through management site risk assessment and proper selection of MEWP for the site conditions. This webinar will address the design, safe-use and training that are essential to ensuring MEWPs are stable and tip-overs prevented.
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.
