Introduction
An elevating work platform (EWP) allows for people to perform many tasks at heights that otherwise may be inaccessible. Depending on the tasks these platforms are used for, they may be equipped with electrical outlets or compressed air connectors for power tools.
These platforms are usually used for temporary work purposes such as maintenance, construction or other emergency work access. They are designed to lift a limited amount of weight hence distinguishing them from most types of other cranes.
There are many hazards involved while working with elevating work platforms including:
- Slips/trips
- Falls
- Manual handling/exertion
