MEWP Good Practices

One of the biggest challenges facing our industry today is how to increase awareness about why safety training is so important. As the industry is preparing to implement the pending ANSI and the approved CSA standards changes, companies need to understand their responsibilities regarding training requirements for mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs). And, this understanding cannot be limited to what they’re required by law and enforced by OSHA to do, but that they know there are very good reasons for the training to keep their operators safe. Today, many companies are facing the dilemma of how to ensure that their operators are receiving proper training. They are aware that ensuring that their operators, and personnel, are properly trained is one of the first steps in helping to prevent accidents yet are unsure of how to go about it.
