Elevated Work Platforms
An elevated work platform (EWP) is a mechanical device used to provide temporary access for people or equipment to elevated work areas. They are commonly used in the construction industry but, can be found in many other industries as well. They improve worker safety by preventing falls from height. EWPs are great for working at heights but, they can also be dangerous if not used properly.
It is important to follow all safety procedures when operating an EWP, including:
- Getting proper training.
- Inspecting the EWP before use.
- Using the EWP within its rated capacity.
- Being aware of your surroundings.
