⚡ You don’t have to touch a powerline for it to be dangerous.

Many operators know to avoid direct contact, but fewer realise that electricity can arc through the air, wind can reduce safe distances, and powerlines aren’t always as visible as they seem.

In this week’s Smart Start Monday, Stefi shares key reminders for working safely around powerlines and why maintaining safe distances is critical when operating a MEWP.

What’s the biggest powerline hazard you’ve seen on site?

🚨 Would you know what to do if you found a fault on a MEWP?

A damaged guardrail, faulty controls, or a hydraulic leak might seem minor — but ignoring it could put lives at risk.

In this week's Smart Start Monday, Stefi explains why properly tagging a MEWP out of service is one of the most important safety steps you can take on site.

Remember: Tagging out isn't about slowing the job down — it's about preventing incidents before they happen.

▶️ Watch now and make sure your team knows the correct procedure.

🚧 Most operators use boom lifts every day…
but very few actually understand what makes them different from other MEWPs.

This week, Stefi breaks down:
🔄 Rotating turrets
📐 Telescopic vs articulated booms
⚡ Electric vs diesel machines
⬆️ Why boom lifts behave differently when elevated

Because smarter operators understand the machine — not just the controls.

👇 Which do you prefer working with — telescopic or articulated booms?

❄️ Winter is around the corner — and that means changing conditions on site.

Cold mornings, moisture, fog, slippery surfaces, and reduced traction can all affect MEWP operation if you’re not paying attention.

In this week’s Smart Start Monday, Stefi shares simple but important reminders to help operators stay safe during winter conditions.

🎥 Watch now and remember:
The seasons are changing… but safety never does.

Buddy systems save lives 👷‍♂️👷‍♀️

When operating or moving a MEWP, a second set of eyes helps improve awareness and safety around:
✔ Blind spots
✔ Overhead obstructions
✔ Uneven ground
✔ Nearby pedestrians

A good buddy doesn’t just watch the work — they help prevent problems before they happen.

Because teamwork lifts more than platforms.

Stay Safe, Stay Smart.

⚠️ It doesn’t just “make a noise”… it gives you a warning.

If your MEWP starts sounding different —
that’s not background noise.

That’s a problem starting.

Clicks.
Rattles.
Squeaks.
Grinding.

Machines don’t fail instantly…
they warn you first.

The question is — are you listening?

👇
Don’t push through.
Don’t “just finish quickly”.
Don’t ignore it.

👉 Share this with someone who needs to hear it before it’s too late.

Outriggers don’t fail by accident…
They fail when the basics are ignored.

Before you go up:
✔ Check every outrigger is fully extended
✔ Make sure there’s no movement or sinking
✔ Never support them on bricks or makeshift materials

Because when they fail…
there’s no recovery.
