This video shows the reconstruction of a real incident that occurred early in the morning at Horizon Platform's MEWP rental yard in March 2021, in the UK. It demonstrates how easily accidents can happen when loading or unloading Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) onto delivery vehicles.

We will identify the circumstances and events which led up to the incident, and then look at what we can learn, specifically the outcomes to minimise the risk of this type of incident happening again.

For more information on safe loading, unloading and transportation of MEWPs, visit www.ipaf.org/load

Thank you to Horizon Platforms for sharing their incident. If you have a story to share, please visit www.ipaf.org/shareyourstory
