The Southern UK PDS

The PDS is an annual event for IPAF qualified instructors and ensures that they remain up-to-date with legislation and training in the use of powered access equipment. It is a forum for the exchange of information between those who manage and those who deliver the training.

Through attending the event, instructors gain Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points, necessary to maintain their IPAF instructor status.

Presenters at this year’s seminars included Joy Jones, principle inspector of the Health & Safety Executive (HSE), Chris Wraith of Lavendon and John Hallows from ConstructionSkills.

Similar PDS events are scheduled in the coming months for other countries, details can be found at www.ipaf.org/events
