Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (MEWPs) Picture This

This image shows two workers on a mobile elevated work platform (MEWP), but several safety concerns are visible. Neither worker is wearing a safety harness or fall arrest system, which is essential when working at height on MEWPs. Additionally, they appear to be standing very close to the edge without proper anchorage or protection.

Operators of MEWPs must always wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including a full-body harness attached to a designated anchor point. They should also ensure the platform is stable, inspected, and used only on firm ground. This image underscores the importance of fall protection and pre-operation safety checks to prevent potentially fatal accidents.
