MEPWs: What You Need to Know

​Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs): What you Need to Know! 
Workplace Safety Series Webinar

The new ANSI A92 standards require everyone who uses a Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP) to re-evaluate or create a safe use plan, including a step-by-step process for assessing risks and hazards on a job.
Operators have died when trapped in the MEWP or when the machine has overturned. Great care must be taken to improve safety in the design, use and training of MEWPs.

Formerly called aerial work platforms, MEWP standards affect all owners, operators and supervisors of aerial lifts, including booms and scissor lifts.
This informative webinar includes information on:

• The types of MEWPs and why it's critical to minimize risks associated with each type of equipment. 
• The most fatal and serious injuries involving MEWPs.
• Control measures that make using MEWPs in the workplace safer.
• What specific training must be provided to operators and their supervisors by the company.
• Requirements for inspection, maintenance and examination. 
• How your company can get certified by attending a recognized operator training course.
