New Swiss IPAF training centre

Kompetenzzentrum für Arbeitssicherheit of Pratteln, Switzerland has become an IPAF-approved training centre.

The company, which is located just 10 km from IPAF’s Swiss office in Basel is the 18th IPAF training centre in Switzerland. More than 1,700 PAL Cards (Powered Access Licences) were issued through IPAF’s Swiss training centres last year and the number continue to grow.

The card is increasingly recognised as proof that the holder has been trained to operate platforms safely and effectively and conforms to ISO 18878.

IPAF chief executive Tim Whiteman said: “I was very happy to be able to personally deliver the IPAF brass plaque and IPAF operations manual to our latest training centre and wish the father and son team of Georg and Michael Wyss much success in their new venture.”

Georg Wyss added: “The IPAF training is an important part of our range of courses provided and is especially close to my heart due to my long experience in the powered access industry. Our training facilities are easily accessible and backed with modern infrastructure and the latest equipment. I look forward to personally welcoming our customers in Pratteln.”
