O’Dwyer Safety Services Now Offering IPAF 1b Training at Our IPAF-Approved Limerick Centre
O’Dwyer Safety Services is delighted to announce that we are now delivering IPAF 1b (Static Boom / Spider Lift) Operator Training at our IPAF-approved training centre in Limerick. This internationally recognised certification is essential for anyone operating static boom MEWPs, including spider lifts and trailer-mounted platforms, and ensures operators are fully trained to work safely and competently at height.
This qualification is not only recognised worldwide through the IPAF PAL Card, but it also aligns with Irish HSA requirements and current Irish legislation, helping both operators and employers meet their legal safety obligations on site.
Who Is This Training Suitable For?
IPAF 1b training is suitable for a wide range of industries and roles where static boom machines are used, including:
- Construction workers and general operatives
- Electricians and electrical contractors
- Facilities maintenance and property management teams
- Telecoms and utilities workers
- Signage and lighting installers
- Roofers and cladding specialists
- Tree surgeons and arborists
- Industrial cleaning and maintenance personnel
- Mechanical and engineering contractors
- Anyone required to safely operate spider lifts or static boom MEWPs
Whether you are new to operating this equipment or looking to formalise your experience with recognised certification, this training provides the knowledge and practical skills needed to operate safely and confidently.
Internationally Recognised Certification That Meets Irish Legal Requirements
The IPAF PAL Card is one of the most widely recognised MEWP operator certifications in the world. It demonstrates that the holder has been trained to the highest industry standards.
Importantly, this training also meets Health and Safety Authority (HSA) requirements in Ireland, ensuring compliance with Irish legislation governing the safe use of MEWPs. This gives both operators and employers peace of mind that they are meeting their legal responsi-bilities while maintaining the highest safety standards.
Holding IPAF certification can also significantly improve employment opportunities, as many employers and sites require proof of training before allowing operators to use MEWPs.
Training Available in Multiple Languages
We understand that English is not everyone’s first language. IPAF training and theory assessments are available in a wide range of languages, and we can provide translated test papers to support learners where needed.
This ensures that language is not a barrier to gaining certification and helps every participant fully understand the safety principles and operational procedures required to work safely.
Our instructors are experienced in supporting learners from all backgrounds and ensure that everyone is given the time and guidance they need throughout the training.
