Manlift to offer Middle East training courses

UAE-based Manlift has signed a strategic alliance with the Middle East Facility Management Association (MEFMA) to supply IPAF and PASMA training to its members.

Manlift, which supplies access platforms and power generators, will be offering training days to MEFMA members to increase awareness of all things related to working safe at height. Those undertaking an IPAF course will be issued with a Powered Access License (PAL) card from Manlift.

Sinead Bridgett, director MEFMA, said, “We see this as a valuable service offering to our members and the wider facilities management community as Manlift offers best-in-class training, support and user certification for all operators who pass the working at height courses.”

Manlift’s managing director, Tom Cunningham added, "Manlift is delighted to be in partnership with MEFMA. We admire the MEFMA organisation for its commitment to professionalism, leadership, teamwork, operational excellence, and safety in the workplace. We look forward to doing great things together."

To facilitate its new training initiative, Manlift will add more low-level access aerial work platforms to its fleet of more than 1,500 units. The company will also increase the number of IPAF and PASMA authorised training instructors within the organisation.
