Protect your team with MEWPs: Safe Operation of Boom Lifts training focused on MEWP types, operating hazards, and practical risk controls.
MEWPs: Safe Operation of Boom Lifts prepares employees to recognize relevant risks, responsibilities, and safe work expectations. Key outcomes include the ability to spot general operating procedures for boom lifts, spot particular hazards and precautions, and summarize the different types of boom lifts. The material also helps learners explain inspection procedures before boom lift use. Practical examples connect the subject to routine tasks, expected procedures, and decisions employees may need to make on the job. Learners finish with a clearer understanding of what to look for, how to respond, and when to raise a concern or seek additional guidance.
In practical terms, falls, tip-overs, electrocution, collapses, and collisions are typical hazards that can lead to serious injury or death.
Before each shift, the boom lift are expected to be inspected for proper fluid levels, good condition wheels and tires, working controls and alarms, and functioning steering and brakes. The site are expected to also be checked for debris and obstructions.
OSHA and ANSI give guidance on the distance a boom lift are expected to be from power lines depending on the electricity voltage. The minimum distance is 10 feet; the distance gets bigger as the voltage increases.
Personal fall arrest systems, like a body harness, are expected to be used at all times. Workers are expected to not belt off to an adjacent structure. The lanyard are expected to be attached to the platform or basket to prevent workers from being ejected or pulled off the boom lift.
Outriggers are expected to be set on a level, solid surface, and the brakes engaged. Wheel chocks are expected to be used on any sloped surface. Cones, signs, or barricades are expected to be used to warn others in the area.
