MEWP Best Practices: Safety That Saves Lives at Height

Fall protection requirements for mobile elevated work platforms are often misunderstood, especially when it comes to boom lifts, scissor lifts, manufacturer guidance, and jobsite-specific rules. In this episode of Safety Factor, Ben Hengst sits down with a panel of fall protection specialists to break down what workers, supervisors, and safety leaders need to know before stepping into a lift.The discussion covers when fall protection is required in a boom lift versus a scissor lift, why ejection is one of the biggest hazards in elevated platforms, and how OSHA requirements interact with manufacturer instructions, company policy, and site rules. The panel also explains the difference between fall restraint and fall arrest, where to tie off inside a lift, and why using the wrong equipment can create serious risk.If your team uses boom lifts, scissor lifts, or other aerial equipment, this episode offers practical guidance on selecting PPE, inspecting equipment before use, training workers properly, and avoiding the complacency that often leads to incidents at height."I think the biggest issue with any type of fall protection, especially when you're tying off into lifts, it's just complacency... they've been in a lift every day, or they've done it hundreds of times and nothing's ever happened any other time. So they're not taking this serious."

How Much Does Crane Safety Actually Cost?

What safety features should be built into your next crane or your lifting equipment? Which ones tend to get cut before the order is placed?In this episode of Safety Factor, crane experts share what happens when budget decisions override safety intentions. From no-touch rigging tools to laser-marked danger zones, they walk through the safety innovations available today and explore the extra costs associated. You’ll hear about the most common injury patterns in steel operations, the push-pull between production and safety, and how small investments now can prevent major incidents later."Everybody has caviar dreams until they find out how much it costs, right? So yes, they want to make them safe. Yes, they want to make them reliable, right? ... 'Yes, I want the Cadillac.' And then you give 'em the price and they say, 'Oh, well, what can we do to get it, you know, half price?'"Episode Highlights:Why crane safety features get cut during procurement - A real look at where cost pressures show up—and what it means for operatorsNo-touch systems and radio control systems - What they do, how they help, and the % price bump to expectCrane safety vs. production pressure - Why “just train them better” isn't a full strategy—and what to do insteadHow to use incident data to justify safety upgrades - Learn how near-miss trends can support your CapEx proposal The hidden cost of designing for price, not safety - When procurement wins the spec battle, who pays the price later?Whether you're specifying cranes, selecting safety systems, or building a CapEx case, this episode offers grounded advice on how to prioritize safety, even when budgets tighten.Guests:Jim Warren, Director of Steel Segment, MazzellaChris Ross, Key Account Manager, MazzellaLance White, Director of Sales Specialists, MazzellaFREE DOWNLOADS:Overhead Cranes E-Book: Overhead Cranes From Top To Bottom10 Things to Consider When Selecting an Overhead Crane for Your Business ChecklistBridge Crane Quote Comparison ToolOverhead Crane and Hoist Service E-Book: A Guide to Upgrades and ModernizationsOverhead Cranes & Built-Up Hoists BrochureNo-Touch Electrode Handling Systems Brochure

Is Your Rigging at Risk? Experts Reveal Critical Inspection Tips

Consistent rigging inspections identify damaged equipment before failures occur, preventing accidents and injuries. Not only do they prevent accidents and injuries, but documented inspections are required for OSHA compliance and can help companies avoid costly fines."When you look at the failure criteria for any type of item you're looking at, alloy chain slings, it's obviously written, and it's objective. It tells you a gouge, it tells you a weld burn, it tells you heat damage. But when you start to look at them, it becomes subjective to the person, to the individual actually looking at it. What is a gouge to me, and what is a gouge to you? And how much of a gouge are you going to allow in service?
