Who Should Attend
This course is aimed at managers and supervisors who's work includes or will include planning, supervising and managing of working at height that includes mobile elevated work platforms (MEWPs) and the operators of this equipment, without them being the person using the equipment themselves.
Course Content
Throughout the course delegate will gain a better understanding of the following topics and be required to pass these assessments:
Health & Fitness Statement
As the safe use of Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) requires that you consult safety notices and read and thoroughly understand the manufacturer’s instruction manual, literacy and language comprehension are important requirements for any MEWP user.
Similarly, as the assembly and use of MEWPs can be physically demanding, users should be physically fit and in good health and should, generally, not have problems with eyesight or hearing, heart disease, high blood pressure, epilepsy, fear of heights / vertigo, giddiness / difficulty with balance, impaired limb function, alcohol or drug dependence or psychiatric illness.
If you have any problems with literacy or language comprehension, or have any doubts about your fitness to use MEWPs, you must bring them to the attention of your employer. This need not preclude you from using MEWPs, provided your employer conducts an assessment and is able to put into place adequate measures to take account of any difficulties you may have.
