On Tuesday, Jan 17, 2023, IPAF will present a webinar on knowing and understanding factors that affect MEWP stability to help avoid tip-overs.
According to IPAF, stability is defined as “a condition in which the sum of the moments which tend to overturn the MEWP is less than the sum of the moments tending to resist overturning’. All MEWPs are designed to meet defined stability criteria and testing requirements that are critical to the safe use and operation. MEWP operator training curriculum must include the knowledge to understand factors affecting stability. MEWP stability is further ensured though management site risk assessment and proper selection of MEWPs for the site conditions.
This webinar will address the design, safe-use, and training that are essential to making sure MEWPs are stable, and tip-overs are prevented.
Presenters:
Matt Eckstine - Director of Operations and Safety Consultant - Eckstine & Associates, Inc
Tony Groat - North America Regional Manger - IPAF
The webinar starts at 11:00 EST and will be broadcast via Zoom for one hour. There will also be a live Q&A session at the end of the webinar.
