As an Approved IPAF Training Centre, we are now able to offer fully certified training for people working with Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (scissor lifts, cherry pickers, etc.) accredited by IPAF (the International Powered Access Federation).  Each successful candidate will receive an IPAF PAL Card and Training Certificate, valid for a period of 5 years and internationally recognised as a licence to operate Powered Access equipment.

 

PAL IPAF CardWhat is a PAL Card?

A PAL Card is a Powered Access Licence, issued by the International Powered Access Federation, a non-profit making organisation dedicated to promoting safe work at height.  Heightworkers need to show that they have been trained to work at height.  If they can’t, they may not be allowed on site.  That’s why the PAL Card is so important – it confirms that someone can operate Mobile Elevating Work Platforms safely and effectively.

It’s the law. The law requires employees to be properly trained on the equipment they use at work.  The PAL Card offers proof that employees have been trained to work at height safely.
