Tape a single sheet of paper to a warehouse column. The operator must execute an EWP hang so the pad touches the paper without tearing it. This teaches 1mm control.
Block the operator’s view of the target structure. A spotter on the ground uses hand signals to guide the hang. This simulates working around opaque facades or ductwork. Legal & Regulatory Notes (OSHA/ANSI) Under ANSI A92.22-2024 , there is no specific prohibition against "hanging," but it falls under "intentional contact." You must have a documented risk assessment. ewp hang
Place a full cup of water in the basket. Operator performs a hang on a vibrating surface (e.g., running generator shed). Spilling = too much force. Tape a single sheet of paper to a warehouse column
However, do not mistake a hang for a structural tie-off. The EWP is a mobile elevating work platform, not a crane or a scaffold clamp. Respect the machine’s limits, practice the drills outlined above, and always prioritize a soft touch over brute force. Block the operator’s view of the target structure
