IPAF Safety Harness Training FAQs

The benefits of IPAF Safety Harness Training

Why Has IPAF Changed Their Harness Course?

Previously, the original IPAF Safety Harness course was a ‘one size fits all’ approach, as delegates had to learn harness awareness, the correct use of harnesses and how to carry out inspections. With the launch of these new courses, you now have the option to train yourself to the correct category required for your job.

Which IPAF Harness Course Should I Book?

The IPAF Harness Course that you choose to book will now depend on the level of knowledge required for your job. We have outlined what each of the new courses covers below to help you choose the correct course.

The Harness Awareness or the abbreviated HA training course is essential for anyone undertaking any level of harness training and this will act as the theory section of a Harness course. This must be passed first if you intend to take the Harness User and Harness Inspection courses. This level of training will be sufficient for people who will not personally use a harness but will manage, plan or supervise the use of a harness in a MEWP.

The Harness User or HU course is aimed at anyone who will personally use a harness in a MEWP. This course is to be taken after completion of the HA training and acts as the practical assessment. This level of training is sufficient for people who will use a harness but will not conduct statutory inspections on behalf of an organisation.

The Harness Inspector or HI course is required for anyone who personally has to conduct periodic statutory harness inspections as part of their role. Both the HA and HU courses need to have been completed before taking this course.

Will My Current IPAF Harness Qualification (H) Still Be Valid?

In short, yes. However, when your current Harness qualification expires, you will need to take the new harness course(s). If you have any questions or require more information on the new IPAF Harness Training courses please get in touch with our expert team, who will be more than happy to help.
