This course enables participants to operate an Elevating Work Platform (EWP) under 11 meters. This training is suitable for people required to work safely at heights up to 11 meters, and applies to those working in operational roles.

As part of their “duty of care” an employer has to provide staff with a safe workplace. The Work Health and Safety Act and Regulations states that operators of plant equipment must undergo activity based instruction and training.

An elevating platform (EWP) is either a telescoping device, articulated device, or a combination of these used to support a platform from which personnel, equipment, or materials can be elevated to perform work.

Elevated Work Platform operation is classified as high risk work and therefore legislation requires workers to be assessed for competency.
