Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs), including boom lifts and scissor lifts, are essential tools for safely working at heights, but they present serious hazards when not operated correctly. This comprehensive training program covers everything workers need to know to safely operate MEWPs in accordance with ANSI A92 standards and OSHA requirements. Participants will learn how different types of MEWPs are classified and what safety features each type provides, the mandatory training requirements under ANSI standards for operators, supervisors, and managers, how to conduct thorough site risk assessments before beginning elevated work, and the importance of having rescue plans in place before workers enter the platform. The course provides detailed instruction on pre-operational inspections to identify equipment problems, safe operating procedures for different work environments and conditions, proper use of fall protection and other safety equipment, and emergency procedures including platform lowering and worker rescue. By understanding these critical safety principles and procedures, MEWP operators can work safely at height while minimizing the risk of falls, tip-overs, and other serious accidents that can occur when operating aerial equipment.
