Pest Solutions service technicians are IPAF Certificated and hold a valid PAL Card. The International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) is a worldwide organisation that has the main responsibility of promoting the safe and effective use of powered access machinery.

Established in 1983, IPAF represents the interests of manufacturers, distributors, users, rental and training companies. It acts as a forum for all active in the world of powered access. IPAF has played a key role in promoting many of the design, safety and testing procedures that are now established in the powered access industry.

IPAF Trained Technicians – PAL Card Holders

The IPAF training programme for platform operators is certified by TUV as conforming to ISO 18878 and more than 80,000 operators are trained each year worldwide. Training generally lasts one to two days and is a mixture of theory and practice.

Successful completion of IPAF training awards the PAL Card (Powered Access Licence), the most widely held and recognised proof of training for platform operators. The PAL Card is valid for five years and shows the machine categories that the operator has been trained in.
