IPAF Rental+ Certification Support

IPAF Rental+ is the internationally recognised certification programme for companies that hire out Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) — also known as powered access equipment. It is administered by the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) and is increasingly required by construction contractors and project managers as a condition of placing hire orders. IPAF Rental+ certification demonstrates that a hire company meets a defined set of standards covering: • Safe equipment — MEWPs are maintained, inspected, and tested in accordance with IPAF and manufacturer requirements • Trained personnel — all relevant staff hold appropriate IPAF operator and demonstrator cards • Safe delivery and handover — equipment is delivered safely and operators receive a proper pre-use briefing • Accident and incident management — the company has procedures in place for reporting and investigating accidents • Customer support — the company provides adequate technical and safety support to customers The certification process involves a desktop review of documentation followed by an on-site audit by an IPAF-approved assessor. Companies that achieve certification are listed on the IPAF Rental+ directory, which is used by construction contractors when selecting hire suppliers.
