MEWP seminars

Anyone operating a mobile elevating
work platform (MEWP) should
receive familiarisation training on
the specific type of machine being
used, and there should also be a
detailed rescue plan in place.

These were two of the key areas
covered in a series of seminars held
by powered accessspecialists AFIUplift.

The seminars across the UK drew
large numbers of managers and
operators who were keen to learn
more about safety.

AFI launched the seminars just
weeks after David Shipman,
chairman, addressed the
International Powered Access
Federation (IPAF) Summit in
London and called for the industry
to do more to promote the safety
benefits of powered access.
