The term ‘Push Around Verticals’ (PAV) refers to non-mechanical and often small vertical platforms, which are manoeuvred into place by hand, rather than relying on an engine of any kind.
PAVs provide a low-level access platform and are designed to meet work at height regulations, making them considerably safer than ladders and steps and cheaper than scaffolding and powered access platforms. At Boss Training, we offer a variety of safety training services including our IPAF Operator training course.
Our IPAF PAV training course will ensure that all employees are fully aware of important features, such as pre-use inspections, hazards and risks associated with operating PAVs, safe operating procedures and handovers.
