Familiarization
Complete the Familiarization quiz first and then complete the familiarization form with a qualified person. Familiarization is required for MEWPs training, as it is a separate but mandatory step after initial training. Familiarization is needed for any MEWP that is significantly different from the one on which the operator was trained.
