Our industry leading course will provide delegates with the knowledge to understand the relevant Health & Safety Regulations, Guidance and Standards surrounding Harness use in particular.

They will also be given the knowledge to identify and select the correct form of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) against falls from height when working from a MEWP.

The course will cover inspection, maintenance, monitoring, fitting and correct use of safety equipment.

This attracts a CITB Short Course Duration Grant at Tier 1, with a value of ┬ú60. Please see the Grants and Funding tab for further information.

Delegates successfully completing the course will have the Harness (H) category added to their Powered Access Licence (PAL) - valid for 5 years. Those who don't have a current IPAF Operator Licence (PAL) card will be awarded a certificate only.
