When siting the MEWP for work, what checks must be made to the ground type? 41 Apart from the operator, who else may need to use the machine’s Operator’s Manual? 42 What is the definition of, or how can a hazard be described? 43 As a platform is raised higher, what also rises that can cause instability? 44 As a machine for the lifting of persons, the MEWP must be thoroughly examined. a) What is the purpose of the examination and 45 b) who should carry out the examination? Name THREE ways in which an operator can minimise their impact upon the environment whilst using the machine. 46 Where should the Operator’s Manual be kept and why? 47 If setting up to work near a bank, what is the recommended distance between the stabilisers or wheels and the top of the bank? 48 When checking fluid levels, why must gloves be worn? 49 On IC engines, during work, the engine starts to overheat. Explain the danger if someone tries to remove the radiator or expansion tank cap. 50 When parking the machine at the end of the shift, name THREE places where the MEWP 51 should NOT be parked. When or why would foam-filled tyres be specified for platform operations? 52 Name FOUR different types or levels of disciplinary actions or sanctions that can be applied (by employers and judicial bodies) to operators of plant who do not comply with, or follow 53 legislation and regulations. Apart from ground conditions, list FIVE checks that must be taken into account when siting 54 the MEWP. Before climbing or descending a slope, what FOUR checks should be made? 55 State the purpose of the check valve(s) located on the scissor cylinder ram (or rams). 56 Using the Operator’s Manual, state any cold-starting procedures for the machine. For electric units only, state the battery function checks that need to be made. Note: The Operator’s Manual for the machine being used for the test MUST be available for reference by the candidate. 57 What THREE main duties of the Health and Safety at Work Act must employees follow? 58 What does the Health and Safety at Work Act require employers to do with regards 59 specifically to plant?
