What is a mobile elevating work platform (MEWP)? What does IPAF stand for? What is LOLER? In this ultimate jargon buster, Horizon Platforms shares a list of commonly-used MEWP terms and what they mean to those new to the access platform industry.
Are you wondering what IPAF training is or what PASMA training entails? It’s highly important for anyone who plans to operate access equipment to be fully educated in doing so. After all, not just anyone can use a cherry picker or scissor lift, or erect mobile towers. For example, MEWPs are complex and potentially dangerous pieces of machinery, so knowing how to operate them safely is imperative for helping to prevent accidents.
After passing 2,000,000 issued PAL cards worldwide in 2020, IPAF (International Powered Access Federation) has launched a new digital app that IPAF believe will be a “game-changer” for safety and efficiency. The ePAL app will feature a digital PAL card, operator logbook, and safety guides. So it will also help easily verify an operators credentials, as well as helping users track and share their equipment time digitally.
Horizon Platforms have trained thousands of PAL cardholders, providing the full range of IPAF qualifications over many years. Speaking to Horizon’s Training Business Manager, Ben Hughes, this is what he had to say about the new innovations.
