Course Components
There are four components to the IPAF Operator Training Course, which include: classroom tutorials, theory assessment, practical training, and practical assessment.
Classroom tutorials
During the classroom tutorials, you will learn about the industry’s best practices and guidelines on various topics, such as health and safety regulations and legislation, working at heights regulations, accident control and prevention, as well as personal protective equipment (PPE).
Theory assessment
Delegates will be asked to complete a paper theory assessment prior to the practical assessment
Practical training
The practical training will give delegates the knowledge and hands-on experience of operating and doing daily maintenance on machines. Delegates will be taught not only the safe operation of machines but also selecting the right machine for the job, how to inspect MEWPs for use on-site, and PPE best practices.
Practical Assessment
Delegates will be assessed on their ability to inspect the machine, perform manoeuvres, and identify potential hazards
Requirements
Delegates should bring the following safety equipment on the day of the practical training:
- a) 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. For operator safety, IPAF strongly recommends the use of a harness & short adjustable lanyard when operating boom lifts, and most sites will insist on it.
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.
