The course covers planning, risk assessment, health and safety laws, personal protection equipment and pre-use inspections and maintenance. Employers have to provide health and safety training for all employees who plan, supervise or manage working at height.

Both HSE and IPAF strongly recommend that all operators of access platforms, especially boom lift operatives, use full-body harnesses and adjustable lanyard restraints. The course trains operatives to be able to safely select, examine and use a safety harness as part of their work in utilising the platform.
