The purpose of this training is to provide employees with mobile elevating work platforms safety training prescribed by legislation so they may obtain the ability to operate equipment in a safe, competent manner and work safely in their work environment and around other employees.
We find MEWP is gaining grounds in all height maintenance work because :
○ It can provide greater reach and improved safety than a standard ladder.
○ MEWP offer many features that help employees maximize their productivity.
○ Businesses can use MEWP in virtually any environment.
Unsafe use of a MWEP is problematic for a business and its employees. MWEP operators who ignore safety precautions put themselves and others in danger. Thus, completing safety training is critical for anyone who operates one of a MWEP.
