Over the duration of the full day course, managers will learn about safe use of MEWPs on-site, how best to plan and assess and mitigate risk prior to starting work and how to choose the most appropriate equipment.

As well as planning, supervising and managin aspects, which are covered in depth, the course will make managers aware of the legal responsibilities covered under UK health and safety legislation and help to teach managers to recognize common potential hazards before they become very real and potentially catasthrophic accidents.

The course itself will culminate in a written theory test that delegates must passin order to receive their IPAF certificate. If you also hold a valid PAL (PoweredAccess Licence) for operating equipment then the MEWPs for Managers accreditation can be added to your existing card.
