Companies that use MEWPs need to know what their management and legal responsibilities are and how to ensure the most effective use of MEWPs.

In most countries there is a requirement for employers to train all employees who plan, supervise or manage work at height and the use of equipment for such work.

This training course will help you answer these questions and prepare you to safely and effectively manage MEWPs on site.

Employers, project managers, foremen and supervisors working in a broad range of industries such as construction, facilities management, retail, airports and arboriculture. Anyone who is responsible for planning and overseeing the use of MEWPs on their job site.

This course is about planning, supervising and managing the use of MEWPs, and not about operating equipment. It ends with a written test that candidates must pass. Upon successful completion of the theory test, candidates will receive an IPAF certificate.
