Yes, our IPAF courses include scissor lift training, which fall under the 3a category. The IPAF 3a course specifically trains operators on the safe use of vertical lifts, focusing on proper operation, risk assessment and safety procedures essential for working at height with this type of equipment.

In the UK, it is not explicitly required by law to wear a harness in a cherry picker, but it is strongly recommended. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) advises using a harness with a short lanyard to prevent falls from height, ensuring compliance with the Work at Height Regulations 2005.
