Course Overview
Every year there are many accidents involving MEWP’s. These injuries, some fatal, create suffering for those involved. They also involve a heavy cost on the employer’s business. Even an incident not involving an injury may result in costly damage to buildings, fittings and goods. Accidents are frequently associated with lack of suitable and sufficient operator training. Such training is an essential first step in reducing damage and injury. PUWER 1998 (9) requires all people who use such equipment, to receive adequate training for it’s safe use.
Who Should Attend
People given the responsibility of operating a Boom type MEWP should attend this course to comply with PUWER 1998 and HASAWA 1974.
