BS 8460:2025 Safe use of MEWPs — code of practice

Provisions the documents cite: whole

What it requires

The MEWP code of practice, published 25 November 2025, superseding BS 8460:2017. BS 7121 is a CRANES series and is not the MEWP standard.

The instrument itself: https://knowledge.bsigroup.com/products/safe-use-of-mewps-code-of-practice. The summary above is our plain-English reading, not the text of the instrument — always work from the source.
