IPAF PAV Training (Push Around Vertical)

This IPAF training course aims to provide delegates with the practical training needed to use Push Around Vertical (PAV) MEWPs safely.

The IPAF PAV course will provide training on basic MEWP practices like pre-use inspections (pre use checks to help the operator determine if the MEWP is safe to use). 

The IPAF PAV training course will also help operators gain an understanding of the current legislation and regulations for MEWPs, as well as accident prevention, personal protection requirements, and how to refer to machine operating manuals.

The course will include a practical and a theory test. Upon completion of the training course, successful delegates will receive an IPAF certificate, as well as PAV approval on their IPAF PAL card.

What is a PAV?

PAV stands for Push Around Vertical. Push around vertical machines are small static vertical platforms that are manoeuvred by push, rather than an engine. Upon completion of IPAF PAV training you will have a strong understanding of when and how to use these machines.
