The EWPA Operator Training Program or “Yellow Card” was created as the result of the EWPA working with
industry, helping them to comply with the WHS/OHS/OSH Acts and regulation. 

This Yellow Card program is designed to ensure that the Yellow Card holder is trained in the safe use and operation of various types of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs or commonly referred to as EWPs).

The EWPA Yellow Card provides ‘evidence’ of this training. The overall intention of the Yellow Card Program
is to assist operators, employers, equipment owners and manufacturers to more easily be able to comply
with the WHS/OHS/OSH Regulation.
