A MEWP operator in a boom-type platform is required to wear a harness. What is the best type of lanyard?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. A short restraint lanyard
- Step 1: In boom-type MEWPs, the person can be thrown out by a sudden movement. Step 2. A restraint lanyard keeps them in the cage rather than arresting a fall. Answer: A short restraint lanyard. Why not the others: A long lanyard allows ejection, a loose rope is inadequate and omitting it ignores the ejection risk.
