Awareness and understanding how to use a harness correctly is critical to the safe operation of boom-type MEWPs. According to data gathered by IPAF, falls from a MEWP platform are one of the major causes of injury or fatality associated with using MEWPs.

The IPAF Harness Awareness, User and Inspection course is specifically for delegates responsible for inspecting their company’s personal fall protection equipment (PFPE) and maintaining inspection records (including those required by law).

The course is delivered through a combination of classroom-based tutorials and practical assignments. Delegates will be assessed through a mixture of theory and practical tests.

Agenda:

Selection of harnesses and lanyards for use in MEWPS
Manage and supervise the use of harnesses and lanyards for use in MEWPS
Create safe systems of work for harness and lanyard use in MEWPS
Test

Delegates successfully passing the Harness Awareness test will go on to undertake the Harness User practical assessment:

Pre-use check of a harness and lanyard
Fitting and adjustment of a harness and lanyard for use in a MEWP
Attaching to the correct anchor point in a MEWP and adjustment of the lanyard to provide effective restraint

Once completed, delegates will move on to Harness Inspection, which includes:

Introduction
Statutory Inspections
Types of Detailed Inspections
Longevity and Obsolescence
Common Types of Damage and Criteria for Failure
Inspection Report
Harness and Lanyard Inspection
Completion of associated documentation
Theory Test
Individual Practical Assessment

Upon successful completion of the course, delegates will receive a digital IPAF Powered Access Licence (PAL Card) accessible via the IPAF ePAL app for an IPAF HI qualification valid for 5 years.

The IPAF ePAL app is free to download on Apple iOS and Android devices. The app can be used to view and access an operator’s digital PAL card, logbook and IPAF safety guides. Our trainers will talk you through this process at the start of your IPAF course.

If a physical PAL card and certificate are required, these must be arranged with the training department before the course start date. An additional charge applies.
