Key Assessment Areas
At Pro Trainers UK, we adhere to rigorous guidelines set by NPORS, LANTRA, and ITSSAR to ensure that your staff receive comprehensive and effective training. Below is an assessment report outlining the key aspects evaluated during the MEWP boom training course.
Pre-Operational Checks: Participants are required to conduct thorough pre-operational checks covering essential components such as fluid levels, tires, brakes, lights, hydraulics, safety devices, and more. This ensures that the MEWP boom is in optimal condition before operation.
Operator Safety: Operators are assessed on their adherence to safety protocols, including the inspection and correct use of safety harnesses. They must demonstrate awareness of potential hazards such as overhead obstructions, power lines, and adverse weather conditions.
Route Safety: Participants are evaluated on their ability to assess ground conditions, identify overhead obstructions and power lines, and ensure clear routes to the working area. Proper placement of warning signs and clear communication of hazards are essential aspects of this evaluation.
Site Safety: The assessment includes tasks related to travelling to the working area, setting up the machine, and elevating the platform to predetermined heights safely. Operators must demonstrate competence in maximizing platform height while maintaining site safety.
Controls Usage: Operators are assessed on their proficiency in using all controls to manoeuvre the machine into position, carry out work tasks, and prepare the platform for travel. This includes simulated or actual work tasks performed within specified parameters.
Operator Knowledge: Participants are expected to provide essential information regarding the MEWP boom, including maximum working height, safe working load, maximum wind speed for operation, and maximum operating radius. This demonstrates their understanding of equipment specifications and operational limitations.
End of Shift Procedures: The assessment concludes with operators safely parking the machine on firm-level ground, ensuring all rams are closed and the platform is lowered. Participants must complete end-of-shift tasks such as refuelling or charging, checking for defects, and securing the machine before leaving it safe and secure.
Testing and Certification Details
The Practical Test and Its Importance
Our MEWP Boom lift training culminates in a practical test, a crucial step towards certification. This test, validated and approved by either NPORS, LANTRA, ITSSAR or Quality Assurance (depending on your preferences) is a comprehensive evaluation of your crane operating skills. Passing this test signifies that you have attained the proficiency required to operate a MEWP Boom safely and effectively. It's important to note that this test is not just a formality; it's a rigorous assessment that ensures you are ready for real-world plant operations.
Three stages of Training
Basic Training: This is where you'll learn the fundamentals of plant operation, including handling and safety procedures. It's the first step towards becoming a competent operator.
Specific Job Training: Tailored to your workplace, this stage includes training on specific handling attachments and knowledge of the work environment.
Familiarisation Training: Conducted on the job under close supervision, this stage allows you to apply what you've learned in a practical setting, ensuring you're comfortable and competent in your specific work context.
Test Revisions & Expectations
The practical test has undergone revisions to ensure it remains relevant and challenging. These changes include an updated marking sheet, where certain faults may now score higher, reflecting the emphasis on safety and precision in operations. Additionally, the test now includes a written component, where candidates are expected to achieve a minimum score of 80%. This includes both multiple-choice and open questions, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of both practical and theoretical aspects of MEWP Boom operation.
