IPAF Safety Harness Training

Safety Harness Training for MEWP Operators
A half day course (typically 8.30am to 12.30pm) for anyone in your organisation that uses supervises or manages the use of Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPS) and needs to be made aware of the correct selection, inspection and use of safety harnesses to prevent falls.

Using our tried and tested blend of classroom-based theory and hands-on experience, your staff can develop an awareness of the legal and practical implications of preventing falls from MEWPs, learn to identify and select the correct form of harness and lanyard, and be able to inspect, maintain, monitor, fit and use them effectively.

No previous experience necessary
