Proper training in operating access platforms is crucial for safety and efficiency on the job. Training reduces the likelihood of accidents, ensures compliance with health and safety regulations, and increases the confidence of your workforce.

MEWP training is essential for risk management in any setting that involves working at heights. Our comprehensive courses cover operational procedures, safety checks, and emergency protocols, significantly reducing potential hazards and ensuring a safer working environment.

PASMA, also known as the Prefabricated Access Suppliers’ and Manufacturers’ Association, offers training in safety-related guidance for the mobile access tower industry. PASMA provides best practice guidance and industry-standard training so that those working on access towers are equipped with the knowledge to meet regulations and safety standards.  

Are you wondering if PASMA training is a legal requirement in the UK? Read our blog to find out more. 

The International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) has developed IPAF training.

IPAF courses ensure industry professionals can meet the legal requirements to operate access platforms safely. These courses provide the theoretical and practical knowledge needed to operate a MEWP safely before work commences in real-life applications. 

The Work at Height Regulations 2005 state that individuals are required by law to demonstrate the completion of appropriate training before operating an access platform. The most efficient way to prove adherence to this is by training with an approved powered access platform training company and logging IPAF training completion.  IPAF courses are generally considered the industry-standard training as they are designed to enhance knowledge, help minimise health and safety risks, and ensure operators understand how to control a MEWP safely.  

Any person responsible for operating or inspecting a MEWP must undertake some training, and an IPAF course is often recommended. For those working with non-powered access platforms, such as mobile access towers, you will want to consider a PASMA course. 

At Horizon Platforms, our certified trainers deliver high-quality, accredited training for all levels of operators. With extensive industry experience, our instructors ensure that all trainees receive practical, hands-on instruction and theoretical knowledge.

IPAF training certificates must be renewed every five years. Regular refresher courses are also recommended to stay updated with the latest safety legislation, regulations and operational techniques.

Like IPAF training, PASMA training should be taken every five years as a refresher and to ensure people are up to date with the latest legislation and regulations.
