About this template
An EWP rescue plan for boom lifts, scissor lifts and truck-mounted platforms. It names the trained ground person, records each machine’s emergency lowering method from the maker, and gives a method card for each trigger: operator ill or unresponsive, person trapped against a structure, machine stuck at height, person hanging from a lanyard, electrical contact and tip-over. It sets a drill for each EWP model before first use and every 12 months. It is separate from the general Working at Heights Rescue Plan, which covers roofs, scaffolds and rope rescue.
