Mobile elevating work platforms

Pick the right machine, check ground and overhead, clip on in the basket, plan the rescue.

Key points

  • In Singapore a MEWP is a lifting machine. An Authorised Examiner must test and certify it before anyone uses it.
  • Only a trained operator may drive it. They need an accredited course for that MEWP type and a run-through on the exact model.
  • In the basket, clip a short lanyard to the maker's anchor point. Feet stay on the floor. Nobody climbs the rails.
  • Plan the rescue before you go up. Someone on the ground must know how to work the ground controls.
