It defines MEWPs and key roles, including qualified persons, supervisors, operators, and examiners, and sets expectations for training, authorized use, and documentation. The program outlines required safety planning elements such as written risk assessment, safe use plan, and rescue plan, plus equipment specifications, inspection, maintenance, testing, and operational precautions. Related OSHA, ANSI, and NFPA standards are referenced.","Number:\nSubject: Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (MEWP)\nEffective Date: April 1, 2021\t\tRevision Date:\t N/A\t\tRevision #: N/A\nThe purpose of this program is to establish general guidelines for AGENCY and UNIVERSITY programs for Mobile Elevated Work Platform (MEWP) safety.  MEWPs are pieces of machinery designed to lift or lower people and equipment using telescopic, hinged, or articulated devices, or a combination of these from a base support.  These devices provide temporary access to high, hard to reach and otherwise inaccessible areas.  MEWPs are used predominately to complete work at elevated heights in construction and general industry.\nRELATED LEGISLATION/RULES:\nOSHA General Industry and Construction Standards\n29 CFR 1910.67 – Vehicle Mounted Elevating and Rotating Work Platforms\n29 CFR 1910.29 – Manually Propelled Mobile Ladder Stands and Scaffolds (Towers)\n29 CFR 1926.452 – Scaffolds-Additional Requirements\n29 CFR 1926.453 – Aerial Lifts\n29 CFR Subpart I Personal Protective Equipment\n29 CFR Subpart S Electrical\nAmerican National Standards Institute (ANSI)\nANSI A92.2-2015 – Vehicle-Mounted Elevating and Rotating Aerial Devices\nANSI A92.10-2009 (R2014) – Transport Platforms\nANSI A92.20-2018 – Design, Calculations, Safety Requirements and Test Methods for MEWPs\nANSI A92.22-2018 – Safe Use of Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPS)\nANSI A92.24-2018 – Training Requirements for Operators of Mobile Elevating Work Platforms MEWPs\nANSI/NFPA 505-2018 – Fire Safety Standard For Powered Industrial Trucks Including Type Designations, Areas of Use, Conversions, Maintenance, And Operations\nANSI A92.22-24 The Manual of Responsibilities\nExclusions\nThis program does not include any type of mast climbing work platforms, suspension scaffolds, rope descent or rope access systems, recreational or sport climbing systems, or any type of stationary scaffolds.

Management will train selected supervisors and operators to become the designated Qualified Person(s) (QP) for the MEWPs being used. Supervisors, operators, and occupants must receive appropriate training prior to lift use and are considered trainees until they are trained and qualified to perform the task and operate a specific lift. MEWP set-up and use must be performed by at least two persons trained and qualified regarding the task to be performed on the specific lift type. Employees must not operate contractor lifts. Contractors are not authorized to use [INSERT AGENCY/UNIVERSITY NAME] lifts.
