EWP Operations (Working at Height)

Operation of elevated work platforms (boom lifts, cherrypickers and scissor lifts) for work at height, including set-up, elevated work and stowing.

Objective

Complete the work safely by controlling ejection, overturn, crushing and contact with overhead services through travel-restraint harness in boom-type EWPs, guardrails in scissor lifts, firm ground, exclusion zones and powerline clearances.

This is the Working at Height version. The hazards and controls are written around working at height work, so it differs from the other 14 trade versions of EWP Operations. Compare all 15.
