First Edition - 17.03.2021
This document deals with criteria for the selection of a Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP) for tasks which require exiting and/or re-entering at height (getting on and off the work platform at changing levels) and intends to give guidance on conditions for consideration for this purpose. Exiting and/or re-entering at height is not considered by the standard EN 2801 as intended use for MEWPs.
This document is primarily addressed to MEWP users who intend using a MEWP for exiting and/or reentering at height.
The document is addressed also to MEWP manufacturers, to provide them with useful information to help in applying the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC (or Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 in the UK).
All the following references to EU Regulations are intended to apply also to UK Regulations.
