Training
Welcome to Pink Platforms training information, we are currently under construction of our new training centre and we are hoping to be operating by mid 08. Meanwhile
below is information of what we will be offering.
What is the PAL Card.
The PAL Card (Powered Access Licence) is recognised worldwide across industries as a proof of platform operator training to the highest standard.
It is issued by the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) to platform operators who successfully complete a training course at an approved training centre.
The training programme was developed by leading industry professionals and is certified by TÜV as conforming to the international standard ISO 18878:2004 Mobile elevating work platforms – Operator (driver) training.
More than 50,000 PAL Cards are issued each year through training centres around the world.
Who needs a PAL Card
If you need to work at height and use access equipment:
- We feel that you should receive basic training. In addition to your main job, e.g. electrician, painter, decorator, cleaner, you will acquire a new skill.
-
Platforms are designed to be easy to use and offer a safe way to work at height, but with basic training you will use the equipment more effectively and safely.
If you are an employer:
-
You can be sure that legal requirements have been fulfilled if your platform operators have the PAL Card.
- Most legislation, covering health and safety obligations, accident prevention and work at height regulations, require you to provide employees with proper and adequate training in the use of work equipment.
- Training to the highest standards means that your platform operators will also work more efficiently and productively.
Features:
-
The PAL Card is valid for five years. It shows the date on which the holder was assessed and the expiry date by which re-training would be needed.
- It also shows the types of equipment that the holder has been trained to operate.
-
It shows the level to which the holder has been trained, e.g. operator, demonstrator and instructor.
-
It has security features including a holographic logo and the holder’s photograph and signature to prevent mis-use.
