IPAF Harness Awareness (HA)

About:

Awareness and understanding of how to correctly use a harness is critical to safe operation of boom-type MEWPs. IPAF offers three harness courses to meet the needs of different candidates, the initial one being the Harness Awareness Course (HA).

Candidates who do not need to personally use or wear a harness should, take only the HA Course, which can be completed remotely as eLearning, or in-person at an IPAF training centre. Candidates typically include managers, planners, safety professionals and supervisors.

Assessment/ Examination:

The course consists of theory training & test which can be completed remotely as eLearning, or in-person.
