Willmott Dixon rolls out safety tech for MEWPs
Willmott Dixon is using new harness-based technology on its construction projects to enhance safety for workers using a boom-type mobile elevating work platform (MEWP).
The technology system, Harness ON, requires anyone operating a ‘3b’ boom type platform to wear a full-body harness with a lanyard that connects to a specific intelligent anchor point within the MEWP’s basket.
Harness ON prevents the MEWP basket controls from operating unless the operator’s harness lanyard is correctly attached to the anchor point.
