Risk Awareness · Safe Operation

Recognise the Hazard.Control the Risk.

Safe manlift and boom lift operation starts before the platform rises. During Manlift/Boom Lift (3B) training, operators develop awareness of common Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP) hazards, work-area risks and appropriate control measures.

The safety principle

If conditions change, stop and reassess before continuing.

Always follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions, the task-specific risk assessment and applicable site procedures.

Hazard library

01 / 06
Hazard 01HIGH ATTENTION

Unstable or Uneven Ground

Main concern: Machine instability

Soft ground, slopes, potholes, trenches and unprotected openings can affect boom lift stability and increase the risk of overturning.

Practical risk controls

  • Inspect the ground and planned travel route before positioning the MEWP.
  • Identify slopes, trenches, voids and weak surfaces.
  • Follow the manufacturer's operating limits and site procedures.

This information supports safety awareness. It does not replace a task-specific risk assessment, equipment manual, site rules or formal operator instruction.
