IPAF PAV Operator Training

Push Around Vertical (MEWP) Operator Training

Course
This IPAF (International Powered Access Federation) Operator training course is for anyone who operates the uncomplicated push around low level vertical access platforms such as those used in construction fit-outs, maintenance, and theatres. Launched by IPAF in 2010, PAV is a new MEWP category designed to give rapid and affordable training to users of these relatively straightforward machines

GOOD NEWS! - if you already possess an IPAF card in with either 1a or a 3a category you will NOT need to attend this course - at most you will need familiarisation training (available from reputable suppliers) and a record in your log book to enable you to operate these machines.
