RATIONALEThe shared purpose of this qualification is to assess and recognise workplace skills acquired without the

benefit of formal education and training for those who have been in the workplace for a long time and for the

new entrant to effectively participate in the workplace.

Learners who are assessed as competent against this qualification will be competent to act as MEWP

Operators or MEWP Transporters in National, Provincial or Local projects calling for MEWP involvement.

Learners will be able to manage the following general MEWP activities, Elementary and advanced Safety,

Health, Environmental, Risk and Quality, Environment, Energy Efficiency and Ethics, Tools, Equipment,

Materials, Maintenance and Techniques, Principles of Communication, Principles of MEWP operations and

Fall protection in a safe and cost effective manner.

The MEWP specialist qualification will enhance safe working conditions and decrease the number of

incidents at height. It should have a strong secondary effect on industry growth by professionalising the

environment and enhancing skills of unskilled labourers, thus increasing employability in the country. Rive

the correct behaviour in the industry enhancing safety and creating employment.

Its contribution to socio-economic transformation is that learners would be able to undergo RPL-assessment

and thereby receive recognition for previous learning and experience. The employability and career

prospects of learners can therefore be enhanced by this qualification.


PURPOSEThe purpose of this qualification is to prepare a learner to operate as an/a Mobile Elevated Work Platform

Specialist

INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITYIn designing and developing Mobile Elevated Work Platform Specialist the following bodies of literature were

referenced, but it should be noted that the technical working group involved in the design & compilation of

the various modules are all SMEs, only cursory reference was made to the following;

IPAF Operator Training. International Powered Access Federation - offered worldwide.

OEM Operators Manuals - should be present on the machine at all times, irrespective of locale.

BS 8460, Safe use of MEWPs, code of practice - British Standard, available worldwide.

ISO (SANS) 18878 - Mobile elevating work platforms - Operator (driver) training. Available worldwide.

Statement of Best Practices of Personal Fall Protection Systems for Aerial Work Platforms - a collaborative

guidance document originating in the USA, available worldwide.

Statement of Best Practices for Workplace Risk Assessment and Aerial Work Platform Equipment Selection

- a collaborative guidance document originating in the USA, available worldwide.

OHASA 85 of 1993

SAQA 243272 - operate a MEWP

Whilst the mandate was to compare only one or two relevant international bodies of work, we have bulleted

the above to demonstrate the relevance of Mobile Elevated Work Platform Specialist in that it would be the

only body of work, worldwide, meeting the requirements of competency training of a MEWP Specialist, and

far exceeding the SAQA recognised MEWP operator training intervention currently available. It is a complete

training intervention covering MEWPs from A to Z!


The two most pertinent bodies of work referenced in compiling Mobile Elevated Work Platform Specialist is

the IPAF Operator Training course and the OEM Operators Manual, supplied as standard with every type of

MEWP. No-one knows how to use the machine better than the original equipment manufacturer!

The IPAF Operator Training course is generally accepted worldwide as the Gold Standard for thoroughly

training MEWP operators. IPAF (http://www.ipaf.org/) is a federation with a presence in all major regions

throughout the world, exercising much of its influence as a subject matter expert in the UK, where it works

closely with the HSE (Health & Safety Executive http://www.hse.gov.uk/index.htm). There could be no other

choice to compare Mobile Elevated Work Platform Specialist to other than the IPAF Operator Training

course. The other important document used as a comparison is the OEMs Operators Manual, which should

be present with the machine in the platform manual compartment at all times.

For the readers benefit, clarification regarding comparative choice in the selection of both the IPAF Operator

Training programme and the OEM Operators Manual is listed below.

IPAF

Duration: Approx. 2 days

Ratio - Workplace vs Institutional: Not specified, but takes place in both a classroom type environment, and

practically on the machine, supervised by the qualified trainer.

Content: Introduction, Regulations & Guidance, MEWP Categories

Structural Parts, Pre-use Inspections, Handover/Familiarisation, Safe Operating Methods & Hazards

OEM Operators Manual

Duration: Not specified

Ratio: Workplace vs Institutional: Not specified, but is 100% practical in the workplace under the supervision

of the trainer

Content: Introduction, Symbol and Hazard, Pictorial Definitions, General Safety, Personal Safety, Work Area

Safety, Legend, Controls, Inspections, Operating, Instructions, Transport and Lifting Instructions,

Maintenance, Specifications

In conclusion, it should be evident that Mobile Elevated Work Platform Specialist is far superior in both

course content and outcomes when compared to comparable MEWP training interventions, available locally

that cater specifically for a South African MEWP operator. For example, whilst IPAF do offer a dedicated

Load/Unload course and the OEM Operators Manual does touch on transporting a MEWP, neither are as

comprehensive or as structured as the practical modules of Select type of transport and Load nor off-load

MEWP & Securing of a MEWP within the Mobile Elevated Work Platform Specialist course curriculum.

INTEGRATED ASSESSMENT

Integrated formative assessment:The skills development provider will use the curriculum to guide them on the stipulated internal assessment

criteria and weighting. They will also apply the scope of practical skills and applied knowledge as stipulated

by the internal assessment criteria. This formative assessment leads to entrance into the integrated external

summative assessment.

Integrated summative assessment:


An external integrated summative assessment, conducted through the relevant QCTO Assessment Quality

Partner is required for the issuing of this qualification. The external integrated summative assessment will

focus on the exit level outcomes and associated assessment criteria.

RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNINGRPL for access to the external integrated summative assessment: Accredited providers and approved

workplaces must apply the internal assessment criteria specified in the related curriculum document to

establish and confirm prior learning. Accredited providers and workplaces must confirm prior learning by

issuing a statement of result or certifying a work experience record.

RPL for access to the qualification: Accredited providers and approved workplaces may recognise prior

learning against the relevant access requirements.

ARTICULATIONThe likely vertical progression for a qualified learner with this qualification is an NQF Level 4 Certificate in

cleaning or construction. This Occupational Certificate articulates horizontally with other qualifications in the

Driven Machinery field with cross-cutting credits in the Knowledge Specifications.

NOTES

Qualifying for external assessment:None

Additional legal or physical entry requirements:A medical certificate for fitness to work at height. 18 years and older Numeracy and Communication Level 3
