The ANSI standards for each type of MEWP also require retraining for machine operators
Examples of situations when retraining would be necessary include, but are not limited to:
- Expiration of the operator’s valid training period
- Deterioration of the operator’s performance
- The operator’s extended period of time with no operation of a MEWP
- The operator’s introduction to new or significantly different MEWP technology
- The operator’s involvement in an accident or near miss with the MEWP
- The evaluation will be accomplished through visual observation, at a minimum, which shall be documented for retention by the user.
