The International Powered Access Federation (“IPAF”) strongly recommends a full body harness with an adjustable lanyard (used to provide work restraint and adjusted to be as short as possible) is used when working from a boom type MEWP. Training is absolutely vital as the repercussions of poorly fitted harnesses or incorrect product selection can be fatal.
On successful completion, delegates who hold an IPAF PAL (Powered Access Licence) card will have it endorsed with this qualification. Those who do not hold a PAL card will receive an IPAF certificate.
