Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (Face to Face Training)

The aim of this course is to enable a learner to understand the different types of EWP’s, how they work and what type of work it is intended for.

As well as identify hazards and controls during practical use of EWP in a stowed and at height task, students will learn to develop an emergency procedure plan and complete the necessary documentation required which may include a JSA, Permit to Work or Safe Operating Procedure.
