Why are EWP inspections so important?

As an owner or operator of Elevated Work Platforms (EWPs), it is your responsibility to ensure that they are in good working order and safe to use. One of the best ways to accomplish this is by having regular inspections performed by qualified professionals. Aerial Platform Solutions, located in Perth, provides comprehensive inspection services for EWPs, including 90-day, annual, and major inspections.

The purpose of EWP inspections is to identify potential issues early on, allowing for prompt and efficient repairs, and to maintain the safe and reliable operation of the equipment. For example, 90-day inspections are designed to ensure that the equipment is functioning correctly between annual inspections, while annual inspections are conducted to ensure that the equipment is in compliance with Australian standards and regulations.

During an inspection, a qualified technician will perform a comprehensive examination of the EWP, checking for any defects or malfunctions that may compromise safety or performance. The inspection will include a visual inspection of the equipment’s structural integrity, hydraulics, electrical system, safety features, and any other components that may be specific to the type of EWP. Any issues found during the inspection will be documented, and recommendations for repairs or replacements will be made as needed.

Regular inspections are critical to ensuring the safety of personnel using the equipment and can help identify potential issues before they become major problems. By carrying out regular inspections, owners of EWPs can ensure their equipment is in compliance with safety standards and reduce the risk of accidents or injuries, as well as extend the life of their equipment.
