What do you need to bring?
You will need high visibility waterproof jackets and/or a high visibility vest, gloves, safety boots, full body harnesses and hard hats. If you are not able to bring all of the required PPE please inform Customer Training as we can provide harnesses, hardhats and high visibility vests if you do not have these.

IPAF Health & Fitness Statement
Since the safe use of Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) requires that you consult safety notices and read and thoroughly understand the manufacturer's instruction manual, literacy and language comprehension are important requirements for any MEWP user.

Similarly, since the assembly and use of MEWP's can be physically demanding, users should be physically fit and in good health and should, generally, not have problems with eyesight or hearing, heart disease, high blood pressure, epilepsy, fear of heights/vertigo, giddiness/difficulty with balance, impaired limb function, alcohol or drug dependence or psychiatric illness.

If you have any problems with literacy or language comprehension, or have any doubt about your fitness to use MEWPs, you must bring this to our attention. This need not preclude you using MEWPs or coming to our training provided your employer/the trainer conducts an assessment and is able to put into place adequate measures to take account of any difficulties you may have.
