Mobile Elevating Work Platform Inspections
Thorough Examinations for MEWPs are legally required and vital for safety and operational integrity. These inspections detect issues early, preventing hazards and disruptions, thus safeguarding equipment and personnel.
Comprehensive Guide to Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) Thorough Examinations
Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) such as Cherry Pickers, Scissor Lifts, and Work Assist Vehicles (WAV) are essential equipment in various industries, requiring Thorough Examinations every 6 months under LOLER 1998 regulations.
