What information must be included in the EWP logbook?

The inclusion of maintenance records and inspection dates in the EWP logbook is essential for ensuring the safe operation of elevated work platforms. These records provide a systematic account of the equipment’s service history, allowing operators and maintenance personnel to track the maintenance schedule and ensure that all required inspections have been performed. Proper documentation helps identify potential issues before they become problematic and ensures compliance with safety regulations.

Furthermore, accurate maintenance records can be instrumental in demonstrating that the equipment has been kept in good working order and is safe for operational use. Regulatory bodies often require this information as part of compliance audits, focusing on the safe operation and reliability of the equipment. Therefore, keeping a detailed log of maintenance activities and inspection dates is vital for both user safety and legal adherence.
