Onsite IPAF Operator 3a & 3b & 1b Training Course

Build operator competence with MEWP equipment assessments conducted directly in your working environment.

  • Training takes place on your actual site using familiar layouts and conditions.
  • Practical assessments can reference the specific MEWPs your teams operate daily.
  • Emergency procedures and pre-use checks are practised in the context of your operations.
  • All participants receive consistent instruction without the variables of off-site venues.
  • Content emphasis can be adjusted to address the access challenges common to your projects.

A private onsite session focuses on the core elements of safe MEWP operation, including pre-use inspections, operating procedures and emergency systems. Assessors evaluate each operator's competency through practical tasks performed on location. This format keeps the learning tightly aligned with the equipment and environments your teams actually use.
