Horizon Platforms Blog

Using a MEWP can put you at risk, there’s no doubt about it. Though, under the correct conditions elevated platforms are a safe and reliable method for providing temporary height during indoor and outdoor work. You have a duty – as an employer and operative – to ensure your working environment meets legal regulations for safeguarding life-saving practice. So, with expert IPAF training and a sound knowledge of your responsibilities for work at height you can stay safe on site.

Working at height with a MEWP is secure and reliable – but only if you put your safety first and follow the necessary precautions. While there are no legal MEWP harness requirements when working at height, wearing one is strongly recommended – particularly for boom lift operators – to help protect you from fatal falls.
