About the Course

Companies that use MEWPs need to know what their management responsibilities are – and what their legal responsibilities are. This course covers what managers need to know for the safe and effective use of MEWPs on site, including planning the job, conducting a risk assessment, selecting the right equipment for optimum cost-efficiency, and mitigating all possible risks.

Under UK health and safety legislation — specifically the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) and the Work at Height Regulations 2005 — employers must train all employees who plan, supervise and manage work at height and the use of equipment for such work.

Who Should Take This Course?

Employers, project managers, foremen and supervisors working across construction, facilities management, retail, airports and arboriculture — anyone responsible for planning and overseeing the use of MEWPs on their job site.

Qualification

This course is about planning, supervising and managing the use of MEWPs, not about operating equipment. It ends with an online test candidates must pass. Successful trainees receive a digital IPAF certificate and PAL (Powered Access Licence), accessible via IPAF ePAL, valid for 5 years.
