Aerial work platforms or MEWP (mobile elevating platforms) or cherry pickers facilitate access to heights and improve working conditions in many trades. However, the risks associated with working from such platform remain (particularly the risk of the basket tipping over). It is therefore strongly recommended to strap yourself in when working in such situation, either to prevent a fall, or to cushion it when one is unavoidable.
You have two options:
– Prevent basket ejection with a restraint system
– Cushion the operator’s fall
Preventing falls: the restraint solution or fall prevention solution
Restraining the operator after a fall: the fall protection solution
