Electric Scissor Lift

The Training Required For Elevated Work Platforms.

Safety should always be of paramount importance in the workplace. When carrying out a job, it will be necessary to use the right tools or equipment and operators will require the correct level of training. If these two rules are obeyed, then the amount of work-related accidents will always be kept to an absolute minimum and everyone will be able to carry out their jobs with confidence and awareness.

Of course, there will be equipment that will require a far larger degree of training. Some types of apparatus are still perfectly safe to use, but there are more potential hazards to be aware of. Elevated Work Platforms (EWPs) are a very good example of this because they have an added element of danger. Anyone who is working at heights should always know exactly what they are doing. There is very little room for error when you are a good distance from the ground and one small mistake can have very large consequences.

EWPs can be split into two main categories and there are specific training programmes in place for each. This is brief explanation of the two different groups and which qualifications are required to use the equipment in them.

Powered Access Equipment

As the name would suggest, this first group is only home to powered EWPs, but also has its own sub-group of Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (MEWPs).

To use any of this equipment you will be need to have the relevant operator credentials and the most widely recognised of these is the PAL (Powered Access Licence) card. This card is recognised by both the MCG (Major Contractors Group) and the HSE (Health and Safety Executive). To obtain a PAL card it will be necessary to undergo proper IPAF training. The IPAF (International Powered Access Federation) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting the safe use of powered access equipment. Every year, over seventy-thousand operators are trained by the IPAF worldwide!

When an operator has passed his/her IPAF Training, a PAL card will then be awarded. This will be valid for a five year period after which it will be necessary to re-train.

Other powered access equipment certification is available, but the PAL card is the most widely recognised type.

Manual Access Towers and Platforms

This second group is specifically for non-powered elevation equipment and courses for this type of machinery will obviously be very different to those in the first category. The most commonly used training services are those of PASMA (Prefabricated Access Suppliers' and Manufacturers' Association).

In 2005, the PASMA Organisation was singularly responsible for the training of twenty-four thousand candidates! They are very highly respected and are seen by most as offering the best possible courses in the safe use of manually operated lifting equipment.

Once a trainee has successfully completed their course, they will receive a certificate of competency and a photo-card to use on-site.

Again, the PASMA card is not the only type of certification for manual operators, but it is by far the most widely recognised.
