Overhead hazards like beams, pipes, sprinklers, ductwork, and electrical services can create serious risks when operators are raising, lowering, driving, or repositioning.
Many incidents happen during routine movement, a quick adjustment, a tight turn, a moment of distraction, or assuming the path is clear.
Before you move, pause and scan:
What is above me?
Where am I going?
What could I contact as I come down?
Safe MEWP operation is about focus, awareness, and controlled movement.
Look up. Look around. Look where you are going.
