Background – Is Your Worksite Ready To Implement A Boom-type EWP For Elevated Projects?

There's no denying the convenience and efficiency boom-type Elevated Work Platforms (EWPs) bring to construction and maintenance projects requiring elevated access. 

However, before incorporating a boom-type EWP into your worksite, it's crucial to assess if your workplace is adequately prepared for the safe and effective implementation of this equipment. 

From proper training and maintenance checks to assessing site conditions and clearance requirements, there are several imperative factors to consider ensuring your worksite is ready for the successful use of a boom-type EWP.

Assessing Worksite Readiness

Space and Accessibility Considerations:

1. Adequate space is essential for safe manoeuvring of the EWP.

2. Accessibility to the work area must be ensured for seamless project operations.

3. Factors such as overhead obstructions and clearance height should be considered.

Worksite Ground Conditions:

1. Ground must be level, compact, and able to support the weight of the EWP and its load.

2. Uneven or unstable ground poses serious safety risks.

3. Detailed inspection of ground conditions is necessary to identify hazards.

4. Measures such as leveling or reinforcing may be required to create a safe working environment.

Safety and Compliance

1. Familiarity with relevant laws, standards, and guidelines is essential for safe operation.

2. Compliance ensures worker safety and legal adherence.

3. Fall protection systems to prevent falls from height.

4. Emergency lowering controls for quick descent in case of emergency.

5. Outriggers for stability, especially on uneven terrain.

6. Safety harness attachment points to secure workers.

7. Platform load sensing devices to prevent overloading.

8. Regular maintenance and inspection of safety features are crucial for accident prevention and regulatory compliance.

What will you learn

1. Work area ground/operating surface is assessed to determine suitability for operational use of EWP in accordance with manufacturer requirements and workplace procedures.

2. Appropriate paths for operating the EWP and moving in work area are assessed and determined in accordance with workplace procedures.

3. Consultation with workplace person/s is maintained to ensure workplan is clear and consistent with site requirements in accordance with workplace procedures.

4. Risk control measures for hazards identified are checked for implementation in accordance with workplace procedures.
