Operating powered access equipment carries risks. Formal training is the only way to mitigate them effectively.

Risk Reduction

Training teaches operators to identify hazards such as overhead power lines, unstable ground, and wind speeds, preventing potentially fatal accidents.

Equipment Care

Trained users know how to perform pre-use checks and operate controls smoothly, reducing mechanical failures and expensive downtime.

Professionalism

A PAL Card is a mark of a professional tradesperson. It demonstrates to clients and site managers that you take safety seriously.

MEWP Training FAQ

Common questions about powered access courses.

Do I need a harness?

Yes for Boom Lifts (3b/1b), but generally no for Scissor Lifts (3a) unless a specific site risk assessment requires it. Our course covers this in detail.

Can I do the course on my own site?

Yes, provided you have a suitable machine and a safe area for practical training. This is often more cost-effective for groups.

What is a PAL Card?

The Powered Access Licence (PAL) Card is the globally recognized proof that you have been trained to operate MEWPs safely.

How long does the training take?

Operator courses are typically one full day (approx 8am – 4pm). This includes both theory and practical sessions.
