OH&S Acts throughout Australia state the need for training of operators of ewp’s to ensure employees and employers meet their “duty of care”. The EWPA has in place a nationally recognised operator training program also known as the “Yellow Card”. This involves a structured training program covering safety, hazard evaluation, pre-operational checks, operation of the various types of ewp’s and more. It is carried out by EWPA Accredited Trainers who are all nationally accredited workplace trainers.
