The access industry requires experience and expertise in using access equipment safely and properly. The Regulations are rightly rigorous in the training required prior to allowing a staff member to use the equipment.

Platform Sales operates a series of additional services to assist you in getting your personnel ready to use access equipment.

Training Facilities

In some cases customers have a need to use access equipment, but don't have trained and accredited staff on hand. In this case, Platform Sales can move quickly to set up training within a few days to ensure the client operates within the law with the minimum of disruption to project timescales.

We have a dedicated training facility at our Leighton Buzzard offices at which your staff will have the opportunity to make use of their new knowledge by appying it to our on-site equipment.

This includes training courses leading to a Certificate of Training to accredit users of access equipment to IPAF (International Powered Access Federation) rules. We also offer PASMA training for aluminium towers. IPAF courses are run in groups of six, whilst PASMA courses can consist of up to 12 per course.

On-Site Training

Most of our training courses can also be provided at customer's premises using their own equipment, thus ensuring the company is using accredited staff who know how to use the equipment properly and safely.

Remember, it's the law. Under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations Act 1998, anyone using the equipment must be trained and accredited.
