Course Description
This IPAF accredited course is designed for operators of powered access equipment and instructs how to prepare and safely operate Mobile Vertical lifts [(Scissor Lifts)](https://www.starplatforms.co.uk/hire/scissor-lift-hire) and Mobile Booms [(Cherry Pickers)](https://www.starplatforms.co.uk/hire/cherry-picker-hire). Successful delegates receive a PAL (Powered Access Licence), a safety guide, a logbook and a certificate which is accessible via [IPAF ePAL](https://www.ipaf.org/en-gb/resource-library/ipafs-free-epal-app) (a digital app that stores and shares your IPAF powered access licences and qualifications). The ePAL Card is issued by IPAF (the International Powered Access Federation) and is valid for 5 years.
Course Components
- Classroom tutorials: Learn industry best practices and guidelines on health and safety regulations, working at heights, accident control, and personal protective equipment (PPE).
- Theory assessment: Complete a paper theory assessment prior to the practical assessment.
- Practical training: Gain hands-on experience operating and performing daily maintenance on machines. Learn safe operation, selecting the right machine, inspecting MEWPs, and PPE best practices.
- Practical Assessment: Assessed on machine inspection, performing manoeuvres, and identifying potential hazards.
Requirements
Delegates should bring the following safety equipment on the day of the practical training:
- Standard PPE (safety boots, hi-vis vest, hard hat).
- HARNESSES: For category 3b training (boom/cherry picker) a harness with short adjustable lanyard is also required. IPAF strongly recommends the use of a harness & short adjustable lanyard when operating boom lifts.
NOTE: Delegates bringing their own harness/lanyard must show a 12 month inspection certificate for this on the day of training, otherwise we cannot allow the use of it during the course.
We offer a 25% discount on our [IPAF approved full harness & lanyard kit](https://www.starplatforms.co.uk/training-extras/ipaf-approved-safety-harness-kit) when purchased with any training course booking.
