  • Technical Guidance

    Fall Protection in MEWPs (H1)

    When working from a boom- type mobile elevating work platform (MEWP), it is strongly recommended that a lanyard short enough for the wearer to be restrained within the platform be used. The lanyard may contain an energy-absorbing device, provided it is short enough to restrain the wearer within the platform. This includes static Booms (1B) and mobile Booms (3B).

  • 15306: Why am I seeing adverts in ePAL?

    IPAF has introduced limited advertising in the ePAL app to help fund ongoing development and new features without charging users directly.

    These adverts are provided through Google AdMob and are non-personalised, meaning they do not track your behaviour or create a profile about you. They are displayed based on general factors such as app content and your region.

    We have taken steps to ensure adverts are unobtrusive and do not interfere with your experience. If you would like to know more about how advertising works in ePAL, please see our Privacy Notice or contact [email protected].
