Toolbox Talk & Andy Access poster Charging Cordless Hand Tool Batteries on MCWPs and Construction Hoists

Mast Climbing Work Platforms (MCWPs) and Construction Hoists (CHs) are sometimes fitted with electrical outlets on the platform that enable operatives to use electrically powered hand tools and other equipment. IPAF does not recommend these electrical outlets are used to charge hand tool batteries.

WHO NEEDS TO KNOW?

This Toolbox Talk applies to all individuals involved with the use of rechargeable hand tools containing lithium-ion batteries, including:

- Users (those in control of the equipment).
- Operators of hand tools.
- Managers and supervisors.
- MCWP CH installers.

A safer MEWP operation isn't built on a single training course, it's built on the right knowledge, the right equipment, and the right decisions on site.

That's exactly what this webinar is designed to deliver.

From understanding whether your operators are truly prepared for today's MEWP challenges, to exploring how technology can reduce operational risks, and finally addressing one of the industry's most serious hazards—crushing incidents. Each session builds on the last to provide a practical roadmap for improving work at height safety.

Here's what to expect:
🕒 3:00 PM – Opening by IPAF Hong Kong Workgroup Chairman
🕒 3:05 PM – Operator Competence Under the Revised MEWP Guidance: Is Your Training Truly Aligned with Real-World Requirements?—By Raymond Wat, SEA Regional Manager, IPAF
🕒 3:45 PM – Enhancing MEWP Operational Safety Through Advanced Features and Accessories—By Tomie Chan, Business Development Director, Sinoboom
🕒 4:05 PM – Crushing Hazards in MEWP Operations: Beyond Training – What End Users Must Do— By Dr Alex Tse, Director, Institute of Ergonomics and Hygiene, Hong Kong
🕒 4:25 PM – Closing Session

Whether you're a contractor, fleet owner, safety professional, supervisor or MEWP operator, you'll leave with practical insights that can help strengthen operator competence, improve site safety, and better protect your workforce.

Standard compliance keeps your business legal—but does it keep your operators completely safe at 20 meters high?
