Scissor Lifts and MEWP (Mobile Elevating Work Platforms) Safety Toolbox Talk: Preventing Accidents and Ensuring Compliance
The Scissor Lifts and MEWP Safety Toolbox Talk template from The Health & Safety Zone is an essential training resource for educating employees on the safe operation, inspection, and handling of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs). This fully customisable template ensures compliance with UK health and safety regulations while reducing risks such as falls, tip-overs, and entrapment.
Why MEWP and Scissor Lift Safety is Essential
Scissor lifts and other MEWPs are widely used for working at height, but improper use can result in severe accidents, including falls, equipment overturns, and contact with overhead hazards. UK regulations, including the Work at Height Regulations 2005, Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER), and Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER), require businesses to ensure these platforms are operated safely by trained personnel.
