The new IPAF MEWP Spotter Training Course provides a universal method of working as a Spotter and Operator team, that keeps everyone safe while increasing the overall efficiency of operations. When everyone uses the same method of working, everyone understands the same hand-signals, positioning, and requirements, playing an essential role in keeping themselves and others safe.
MEWP Spotter Training
€50.00
Description
A MEWP Spotter is a specific role assigned to one or more people to observe MEWP operations onsite, in real-time, and, where necessary, communicate with the MEWP Operator to direct them to manoeuvre the MEWP safely away from any obstacles or hazards that may be beyond the MEWP Operator’s line of sight. The MEWP Spotter(s) and MEWP Operator work together as a team to ensure safe, efficient MEWP operations
Who is the course intended for?
Anyone who needs to assist a MEWP Operator to safely manoeuvre a MEWP into position, particularly in situations where the Operator has restricted visibility. The Spotter role is ‘another pair of eyes’ and IPAF recommends all Operators, supervisors and site managers also take the course to ensure everyone on site understands the Spotter’s role, hand signals and where the Spotter should be safely positioned. As a result, there are no entry requirements for this course.
Prerequisites:
There are no entry requirements for this course.
Training methodology:
The course is in eLearning format only, with Facial Recognition. The convenience of taking the course online, remotely, as eLearning, meets the needs of contractors and individual candidates, enabling the course to be completed on a PC, MAC, tablet or mobile phone.
Assessment:
The course is completely theory based and online due to the role being observational and procedural, focusing on hazard awareness, clear communication with Operators, and decision-making, rather than machine operation, particularly as no two machines or site setups are the same.
Accreditation/Certification:
Upon successful completion of the MEWP Spotter training, candidates will receive a digital certificate. As this course is certificate only, the category will not appear on licences.
