There is no statutory licence as for forklifts or cranes. However, the employer must be able to prove that their staff can operate the platform safely.
The FK-V requires a proof of competence only for certain work, such as cranes and forklifts. It does not apply to mobile elevating work platforms.
Still, not everyone may simply step in: under § 14 ASchG the employer must give staff documented instruction — on the machine, the hazards and rescue from height. A training course with a certificate is the simplest proof.
Our training follows the international standard ISO 18878 and the DGUV principle 308-008 and is therefore valid throughout Europe.
