Background - Is Your Worksite Prepared To Implement An EWP Boom-type For Elevated Projects

It's impossible to deny the convenience and efficiency that boom-type Elevated Work Platforms bring to construction or maintenance projects that require elevated access.

Before incorporating an EWP boom into your workplace, it is important to determine if the site is prepared for its safe and effective use.

There are many factors to consider to ensure your site is ready to use a boom type EWP. These include proper training, maintenance checks, assessing the site conditions and clearing requirements.

Assessing Worksite Readiness

Space and Accessibility:

1. Ample space is required for the EWP to be able to manoeuvre safely.
   
2. For a smooth project, it is essential that the work area is accessible.
   
3. Consider factors such as obstructions overhead and clearance height.
   

Worksite Ground Condition:

1. The ground must be compact, level and able to support both the EWP's weight and the load.
   
2. Uneven or unstable terrain poses serious safety hazards.
   
3. To identify potential hazards, it is important to inspect the ground thoroughly.
   
4. To create a safe work environment, you may need to take measures such as leveling and reinforcing.
   

Safety and Compliance

1. Safety is dependent on knowing the relevant laws, standards and guidelines.
   
2. Compliance is essential to ensure worker safety and legal compliance.
   
3. Fall protection systems are designed to prevent falls.
   
4. In an emergency, the controls allow for a rapid descent.
   
5. Outriggers are useful for stability, particularly on uneven terrain.
   
6. Safety harness attachment points for workers' safety.
   
7. Platform load sensors to prevent overloading.
   
8. Safety features must be regularly maintained and inspected to ensure compliance with regulations and to prevent accidents.
