Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP) for Managers

Synopsis

With the increase in the use of the Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) in the workplace, companies that use MEWPs need to know what their management responsibilities and legal requirements are. The improper use of MEWPs can give rise to serious injuries and even fatalities.


Under Section 12 of the Workplace Safety and Health Act (WSHA), employers are required to ensure the safety and health of their employees. With the increasing use of MEWPs in industries, employers with MEWPs in their operations need to pay more attention to the safety of both their people and the efficacy of their machines. These would include appropriate and adequate training of the operators, regular maintenance of the MEWPs, and having good safety procedures and practices when working at height with these machines.


The IPAF MEWPs for Manager course aims to equip learners with the skills and knowledge required to manage working at height and the use of MEWPs.
