In the world of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs), safety is not optional—it’s a core responsibility. One of the most important tools for maintaining safe and compliant equipment is the Safety Inspection Certificate.
A Safety Inspection Certificate confirms that an EWP has been properly assessed and is in sound working condition, in line with the Best Practice Guidelines for EWP in New Zealand. These guidelines set the benchmark for safe operation and help ensure consistency across the industry.
This inspection goes beyond a basic visual check. It involves testing the EWP through its full range of functions, including:
Each component is checked to ensure it operates reliably under both normal and emergency conditions.
Regular inspections and certification help:
Whether you're overseeing a fleet or managing a single unit, keeping your EWPs certified is a practical step towards safer, more efficient operations.
In summary, Safety Inspection Certificates are a vital part of EWP safety in Aotearoa. By testing equipment thoroughly and aligning with best practice, these inspections help ensure every job is carried out safely and responsibly.
