A new IPAF training course Push Around Vertical (PAV) will be offered by ASTRA Access Safety Training from January 2010.

IPAF has introduced this course in response to market developments and the need for appropriate training on this new type of machine. Push Around Verticals (PAV) are small, static vertical machines. However, unlike the Static Verticals (IPAF category 1a), they have no mechanical drive and are physically pushed around.

“The new course will be very popular with maintenance contractors who are using this type of equipment for low-level access work” said ASTRA Director Mick Aston

The equipment covered includes models with no drive produced by companies such as Genie, JLG, Pop-Up, Power Tower, Upright and Youngman.

The PAV course is a half-day course that covers both theory and practice.
