Before setting up on a concrete floor, what must be confirmed?

  1. The EWP's weight limit

  2. Concrete mix used

  3. Floor's capacity to support the EWP

  4. Weather conditions

The correct answer is: Floor's capacity to support the EWP

It is crucial to confirm the floor's capacity to support the Elevated Work Platform (EWP) before setting up on a concrete surface. This step ensures that the concrete can safely bear the weight of the EWP along with the operator and any additional load, thus preventing structural failure or accidents during operation. Assessing the floor’s capacity includes checking for any signs of damage or crumbling in the concrete, ensuring that it is level and free from hazards, and confirming that the design specifications meet the necessary safety requirements. Proper load-bearing capacity is essential for maintaining stability and safety while using the EWP, particularly in environments that involve vertical work at significant heights.
