IPAF Training Leeds

Having been in the powered access platform business for almost 40 years, GTAccess is the number one name for the provision of new and used powered access platforms and  IPAF training in Leeds. We have a wealth of knowledge and expertise that allows us to instruct others on how to use powered access equipment efficiently and safely. The International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) recommends boom lifts and scissor lifts, as well as other mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) be used safely, and only operated by personnel with the skills and knowledge to minimise the risk of accidents and injuries. Every individual using a MEWP must successfully complete an IPAF course in Leeds and be a certificate holder.  

Thanks to our dedicated IPAF training facility in Stoke on Trent, GTAccess can ensure your staff receives the essential IPAF training for your Leeds construction company and is fully prepared for safe operation at heights. The IPAF PAL card, which is recognised by all contracting firms, is given to learners who complete an IPAF training course. The course adheres to the Work at Height Regulations, 2005 and the PUWER Regulations, 1998 and is a recommended requirement of employment for operating MEWPs. Give us a call to discuss all your IPAF needs.  

Through GTAccess, your team can enrol in an IPAF training course convenient to you, including options for weekends and e-learning.

MEWPs for Managers

Our training centre in Stoke on Trent offers this IPAF MEWP training for managers in Leeds online. The training includes information on planning and risk assessment, health and safety laws, personal protective equipment, pre-use inspections and maintenance – everything that managers need to know about using MEWPs on site.

Harness Safety Training

This IPAF-accredited course is recommended for all operators of boom-type MEWPs because it ensures that they can safely choose, assess and operate a safety harness as part of their work when operating the platform lift. Full body harnesses and lanyard restraints that can be modified for MEWP operators are highly advised by both HSE and IPAF.

Operator Training

A variety of access platforms, including scissor and boom lifts, among others, are set up and securely checked by MEWP operators throughout the training session. All pre-use checks, employer and employee duties as well as emergency descent protocols are covered in the training. You can reduce the time spent at the training facility by completing the theory parts of the course online.
