PPE Requirements
Our IPAF Demonstrator training courses require the following PPE:

• Safety Helmet with Chin Strap
• Safety Glasses
• High Visibility Waistcoat
• Full Body Safety Harness with Short/Adjustable Restraint Lanyard (available for loan)
• Safety Footwear

We recommend that you purchase our harness safety kit when you book the course at £49.95 + VAT (for equipment valued at £85!), so you are equipped to complete the course and fully protected when you go on-site after the successful completion of this course. Please Note: The kit includes the items listed above, with the exception of safety footwear that you must provide yourself on the day.

If you do not purchase the kit when booking the course, you will be required to bring your own PPE kit on the day. If you do not have a safety harness we can loan you one on the day.

Also, purchasing the harnes safety kit from us will ensure that you are notified when the formal inspection of the harness is required so that you will not be prevented from going on-site. Details of our harness inspection services can be view here.
