IPAF Name Check I Verify Your PAL Card and IPAF Status

An IPAF name check allows operators, employers, and site managers to verify the authenticity and validity of an individual’s IPAF certification. This is particularly important in safety-critical industries where only certified personnel are allowed to operate Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs).

The most reliable method to perform a name check is through the IPAF ePAL app. This digital platform provides real-time access to operator details, including name, PAL Card number, certification type, and expiration date. Employers can easily scan the QR code on the PAL Card or search using the individual’s name to confirm the operator’s credentials.

Why is this important? An IPAF name check protects employers from liability and ensures that only trained professionals handle powered access equipment. It also prevents the use of expired or fake certification, which could lead to site shutdowns or legal penalties.

Additionally, individuals who lose their physical PAL Card can use the name check function to retrieve certification records. This proves particularly useful for workers who travel between sites or countries and need quick access to their credentials.

Performing an IPAF name check takes less than a minute, but it reinforces a site’s commitment to safety and compliance. If you’re unsure about your certification status, visit the official IPAF portal or download the ePAL app to confirm your details instantly.
