IPAF Training
Health and safety legislation including the work at height regulations 2005 require that any operative using an MEWP (Mobile Elevated Work Platform e.g. Scissor lift, boom lift/cherry picker) must be competent and trained to do so. IPAF is the nationally recognised governing body dedicated to the training of MEWP operatives. We are able to offer IPAF training for all MEWPs in all categories (see below).
IPAF Training Courses and duration:
There are four main categories of IPAF training available, each one covering a type of
MEWP
:- 1a Static Vertical (e.g. static scissor lifts)
- 1b Static Boom (e.g. static cherry picker)
- 3a Mobile Vertical (e.g. mobile scisoor lift)
- 3b Mobile Boom (e.g. mobile cherry picker)
For details and advice on which training course you will need to attend for your particular machine, please call.
This course is designed to give operatives of MEWPs (e.g. Scissor lifts, boom lifts, cherry pickers), the knowledge, understanding and instruction to ensure that each delegate is competent in their safe use, maintenance and inspection, as required by the Work at Height Regulations 2005. On successful completion, each delegate will receive a certificate and PAL card as proof of their training.
