Does the operator course include harness training?

The IPAF MEWP Operator Training course is specifically designed to train people to operate MEWPs however, as a part of the content the course includes a short section of basic harness training on these areas:

- Before use: Pre-use checks of a harness and lanyard, checking for proof of Statutory Inspection
- Harness wearing: How to put a harness on
- Harness adjustment: Ensuring candidates have no slack in a correctly fitted harness
- Lanyard adjustment: Adjusting for machine and candidate
- Attachment to MEWP: Designated anchor point and karabiner locked
- IPAF technical guidance H1 on harnesses

Harness inspection is not covered in the IPAF MEWP Operator Training course.

For any person that needs comprehensive harness training, IPAF offers awareness level harness training suitable for everyone, user level training for those that will use a harness in a MEWP, and inspector level training for those that will be required to conduct Statutory Inspections of PFPE for use in a MEWP. Click here to learn more
