The HSE and industry best practice state that all MEWP operators must have had appropriate training in how to operate the machine and how to carry out the tasks required.
Only trained and authorised people may operate the platform. Other people in the team must be able to lower the platform, by using both the controls on it and any emergency controls on the platform mounting below. A minimum of two people in the team is essential.
If the MEWP is hired, the operator and ground staff should be familiar with the instructions and controls before starting work.
For those already holding a certificate of competence in MEWP operation and requiring training in the use of a chainsaw from a MEWP please see the Aerial Tree Work section of our web site.
