Aerial Work Platform Operator Training
Aerial work platforms are safer than ever, and 80% of all so-called mobile elevating work platform accidents today can be prevented by the operator, either during pre-operational inspection or during the actual operation of the unit. This fact brings training into a very critical focus, not as a byproduct of buying an aerial work platform, but as a critically important element of the process to ensure the safe and effective use of the equipment. Required lift training takes time and effort, and must be considered a vital part of operating lift equipment safely.
MEWP operations require a qualified person to monitor, supervise, and evaluate operators to ensure their compliance with regulations and safe use practices. MEWP supervisor training will enable a person to become qualified for this task.
MEWP operators must be training on both theory knowledge and hands-on practical operations that apply the theory knowledge. The theory course must be successfully completed before attempting to operate a lift during practical training. Practical training can be delivered under direction and evaluation of the qualified trainer, when the trainee shall operate the MEWP for a sufficient period of time to demonstrate proficiency.
