IPAF Smart PAL Card Replacement
Upcoming start dates
Course Aims
If you already hold a valid IPAF PAL Card, you can upgrade to the new IPAF Smart PAL Card.
The IPAF Smart PAL Card and reader system can be used to verify if pre-use checks have been done.
Access to machines can be restricted - the MEWP can be set to only start if operators have a valid Smart PAL Card which proves they are trained for the appropriate machine category.
Smartcard systems can be integrated for industry-wide coverage.
Certification
The new IPAF Smart PAL Card will retain the expiry date of your original card.
The IPAF Smart PAL Card will continue to have security features, such as the cardholder's photo, signature and an IPAF Holographic logo.
An electronic logbook can be created for individual operators - showing which machines they have operated, for how long and where - and what familiarisations they have received.
