IPAF Operator: 3a (Scissor) & 3b (Boom) Full day course with classroom theory

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) and Mobile Booms (Cherry Pickers). Successful delegates receive a PAL (Powered Access Licence), a safety guide, a logbook and a certificate which is accessible via IPAF ePAL (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 about industry best practices, health and safety regulations, working at heights regulations, accident control and prevention, and personal protective equipment (PPE).
• Theory assessment: Complete a paper theory assessment prior to the practical assessment.
• Practical training: Gain knowledge and hands-on experience operating and doing daily maintenance on machines. Learn safe operation, selecting the right machine, inspecting MEWPs, 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 standard PPE (safety boots, hi-vis vest, hard hat). For category 3b training (boom/cherry picker), a harness with a short adjustable lanyard is also required. IPAF strongly recommends the use of a harness & short adjustable lanyard when operating boom lifts, and most sites will insist on it. Delegates bringing their own harness/lanyard must show a 12-month inspection certificate.
