The users of a Mast Climbing Work Platform (MCWP) would be expected to have undergone as a minimum: • Basic Health & Safety Awareness training (offered by many organisations) • Basic MCWP Awareness, Regulations & Guidance • Product Specific – Operational Controls • Product Specific – Emergency Systems • Pre-use / Daily ChecksDemonstration should be completed by a competent person (Demonstrator) who has sufficient knowledge and experience of the MCWP to be used. This demonstration is best completed on site with the specific make and model of MCWP to be used. IPAF has a training course specific to demonstrators of MCWPs but does not issue licences for Users as their tasks with the MCWP are not deemed sufficient to warrant this level of certification.
