About the Event
What is MEWP?
MEWP stands for Mobile Elevating Work Platform. It is a type of equipment used to provide temporary access to elevated work areas. MEWPs are commonly used in construction, maintenance, and industrial applications where workers need to perform tasks at height.
Types of MEWPs
Scissor Lifts: These have a platform that raises vertically using a scissor-like mechanism.
Boom Lifts: These have an extendable arm that can reach over obstacles and provide access to hard-to-reach areas.
Vertical Lifts: These are designed for straight vertical access and are often used in narrow spaces.
Safety Considerations

Conduct pre-use inspections of the equipment.
Use fall protection equipment when required.
Be aware of the working environment and potential hazards.

Conclusion
MEWPs are essential tools for safely accessing elevated work areas. Proper training, safety measures, and understanding the types of MEWPs available can significantly enhance workplace safety and efficiency.
