IPAF Training in Bromsgrove

In addition to providing powered access equipment for over 40 years, GTAccess has an equal amount of experience teaching others how to use these platforms securely. The non-profit organisation the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) is dedicated to encouraging the secure and efficient use of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs), including scissor lifts, boom lifts and others. Everyone using an MEWP must complete an IPAF training course and receive certification to ensure that they have the knowledge and abilities required to minimise accidents and injuries. 

GTAccess can guarantee that your crew has received all necessary training for operating safely at heights thanks to its specialised IPAF training facility in Bromsgrove. The IPAF PAL card is given to the learner upon completion of an IPAF training course at Bromsgrove, and it is accepted by all major contracting organisations, complying with the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and PUWER Regulations 1998.

As a condition of employment and a safety measure, many employers demand IPAF training and a current PAL card. GTAccess provides courses that can be taken at convenient times, such as at weekends or in the evenings. Some of the courses are also available as e-learning options, which reduces the amount of time spent in the training facility.
