New MEWPS Safety Leaflet from the HSE

GEIS6 - The Selection, Management and use of Mobile Elevating Work Platforms

Produced by the HSE in conjunction with the Strategic Forum for Plant Safety – MEWP Safety group, this new information sheet is aimed at helping those who select, specify, manage and operate mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs). It tells what should be considered before selecting a MEWP to gain access to work at height and the risks that need to be assessed and managed while the MEWP is in use.

All types of MEWPs are covered by this guidance including:
- Vertical scissor lift
- Self-propelled booms
- Vehicle and trailer-mounted booms
