Mobile elevating work platform (MEWP) users vary greatly from the one-time user to the daily user. The one thing in common is the need for the MEWP user to have a safe-use program in place to ensure the operation is safe for everyone.
The International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) is reminding those installing and removing seasonal decorations and lights with the technical guidance booklet for safety.

The International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) has released new Toolbox Talks, designed to share specific safety messages on work sites, which include two short presentations aimed at explaining the use of personal fall-prevention equipment (PFPE) when using mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) and what to look for when checking PFPE before use.
The presentations are available in English with other languages to follow soon. These presentations join the existing suite of Toolbox Talks, which supplement the simple safety messages contained in the popular series of Andy Access posters for work sites. All are free to download and available to users of MEWPs or mast climbing work platform (MCWP) equipment.
