Health & Fitness Statement

As 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, as the assembly and use of MEWPs 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 doubts about your fitness to use MEWPs, you must bring them to the attention of your employer. This need not preclude you from using MEWPs, provided your employer conducts an assessment and is able to put into place adequate measures to take account of any difficulties you may have.

eLearning Module

​The IPAF Operator course also available as an eLearning Module, meaning you can do the theory section of the course in the comfort of your home or office, in your own time, at your own pace, on compatible PCs and tablets. You would then only be required to attend a half day practical session afterwards. This makes getting this training completed much easier to fit around busy schedules and other commitments delegates may have.
