EWP TRAINING is a NECESSITY FOR OPERATORS WORKING AT HEIGHTS
EWP TRAINING is a NECESSITY FOR OPERATORS WORKING AT HEIGHTS
Specialized training that allows all people to work safely in all kinds of environments whether it is maneuvering a tight area or working on a elevated work platform (EWP) also known as aerial work platforms. The purpose of training is to give the operators the right information and skills needed to work efficiently on different job sites. The EWP training course is recommended for teaching operators to work responsibly at heights as these work platforms extend several feet in the air. Training is mandatory for anyone working with elevated work platform equipment such as boom lifts, man lifts, and scissor lifts. We also offer boom lift training and scissor lift training.

REGULATIONS FOR AERIAL LIFT TRAINING
REGULATIONS FOR AERIAL LIFT TRAINING
The new training guidelines issued by OSHA/ANSI state that all operators need to be trained as per definitive standards before using the equipment. These standards focus on providing theoretical and practical training to anyone working closely with the MEWPs. For the operators that will be working on aerial lift equipment, training will include all aspects of learning about machine operation, safe use and hazard prevention. The MEWP training standards now extend beyond operators and will be effective for:
Supervisors - Any person or persons supervising MEWP operators will need to undergo training too, as mandated by ANSI.
Occupants - Any personnel that will be on the elevating work platform are obligated by the CSA to know the safety guidelines even if they are not considered operators.
Repair and maintenance crew - The new CSA standards demand that the team of people servicing or repairing the MEWPs must know the manufacturer’s requirements.
WHY DO YOU NEED AN AERIAL LIFT OR MEWP TRAINING?
WHY DO YOU NEED AN AERIAL LIFT OR MEWP TRAINING?
Sufficient training and a valid certification are proof that the operator is skilled in the safe and ideal operation of the equipment. It is required by the law that all operators working on an elevated work platform go through training and get a certification before using the equipment. Getting appropriate training will teach you to ensure the safety of yourself and others at the job site. Having the right skills is important as operators typically spend several hours in a day on elevated work platforms while working at job sites. Learning about the functionalities and the stability aspects of elevated work platforms is also extremely essential. The information you will receive from this training course will give you all the tools you need to perform the job with great confidence and ease.
