Access Platform Training and MEWP Familiarisation
Emergency Lowering
Procedure and Rescue Plan
A full description of the emergency
lowering procedure can be found in the
Operator’s Manual which must be
supplied with the MEWP. In the event of
an emergency or malfunction, a
nominated trained site-based person
needs to be familiar with MEWP’s
ground controls and know how to use
emergency descent system in case the
operator is unable to lower machine from
the basket. The rescue plan should also
include call-out details for a competent
service engineer. Emergency lowering
and rescue procedure must be practised
at regular intervals.
On-site Training Requirements
All our training courses are conducted at your premises or on site for your
convenience. All aerial access equipment must be in good working order and
have a current Certificate of Thorough Examination (LOLER Inspection) and
a MEWP Operator’s Manual supplied with the machine.
Site facilities must include a meeting room with blinds, tables, chairs, a power
point and a white wall or a projector screen for the theory session. An area
allocated for the practical session must be suitable for the full operation of the
MEWP used for training.
All delegates must have suitable PPE including safety shoes, hard hat, hand
and eye protection, harness and lanyard. A mix of theory and practical
instruction is followed by a practical and a written test. Upon successful
completion and assessment trainees are issued with all necessary
documentation.
Alfa Access Services offer a range of On-site MEWP Operator training
courses as well as training in the safe use of Harnesses. All training is
carried out by a fully qualified instructor to internationally recognised
standard. Upon successful completion of the course, delegates receive
a card or ‘licence’ and/or a certificate listing the categories of MEWPs
they are trained to operate. We provide training on all types of aerial
access platforms: low level access and pop-ups, cherry pickers, boom
lifts, scissor lifts, tracked platforms, spiderlifts, stock-pickers and
vehicle-mounted access platforms.
Officially recognised basic training will help your employees to work
safely and efficiently at height. It is the employer’s responsibility to
ensure that all operators are fully trained and familiarised with a
particular make and model of powered access or lifting equipment
before being authorised to use it.
