Learn to correctly perform in-service inspections of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) to ensure safety and to meet legal requirements.
Lifting equipment, including MEWPs, must be inspected six-monthly/annually* by a competent person to ensure health and safety conditions are maintained, and that deterioration can be detected and remedied in good time.
Pre-Delivery Inspections (PDIs) and in-service inspections are a vital part of a service plan together with six-monthly/annual* inspections as stipulated above to ensure that MEWPs remain safe to use.
MEWPs are one of the safest ways to perform temporary work at height. Ensure your equipment is safe to use through good maintenance regimes ranging from pre-use checks, pre-delivery and in-service inspections, to regular six-monthly/annual inspections as required by law, and major inspections. Guidance and resources on this subject are at ipaf.org/inspections.
*Please refer to country-specific legal requirements when determining the regularity of MEWP inspections.
