IPAF Manager

As a manager you have the responsibility to plan the safe use of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs). You must be aware of the legal obligations and be able to choose the right MEWP for your work. Thus, accidents due to poor management can be prevented. 

In this IPAF training course, you will learn to take possible risks into consideration and to take appropriate precautions when working with MEWPs. In addition, you will be able to select the right machine for your work, create risk analysis and ensure the safe handling of mobile elevating work platforms. The one-day training will conclude with a written exam. After successfully finishing the training course, all participants will receive the IPAF certificate and their PAL card.

This training is a theory training course only that deals with the planning and supervision of the use of MEWPs, but not the operation of the MEWPs itselve. This training is meant for employers, superiors, project managers, site managers, foremen, and supervisors, therefore all who are involved in the planning, consulting and execution of work with mobile elevating work platforms.

The following theoretical topics will be covered during this training:

• Regulations and laws
