The Swedish Work Environment Authority's regulation AFS 2023:11 § 29, Use of Lifting Devices and Lifting Equipment, outlines general knowledge requirements (§ 29). The practical implications of these requirements are further explained in the comments to the regulation. These comments highlight that Swedish standards provide guidance on the content of training for operators of mobile work platforms.
Lift training according to the Lift Training Plan (LLP) is based on the Swedish standard SS-ISO 18878:2013 – Mobile Elevating Work Platforms – Operator Training. The standard emphasizes the importance of refresher training and re-examination. In the 2013 edition, the requirement for retraining and re-examination every five years is even clearer than in previous versions.
