IPAF 1b Static Boom

The IPAF 1b Operator category covers the safe use of Static Booms which generally have outriggers. The category covers spider booms on tracks or wheels, van-mounted, truck- mounted and trailer-mounted booms. On successful completion on an IPAF practical test on one of the above types of boom with outriggers, they are permitted to operate the other types of Static Booms under the 1b category, subject to receiving familiarisation on the 1b machine being used.

Know How Training can carry out IPAF 1b training at any one of partner sites located in Liverpool and the Merseyside area. We can also train your candidates at your own site or premises, provided the facilities are adequate and there is a static boom available for the delegates to use. The course gives candidates sound knowledge, good working practices with hands-on practical skills to enable them to safely operate powered access equipment.

Brian is an excellent teacher explaining everything in an easy to understand way and answered all our questions. Will highly recommend yourselves to everyone I know. Thank you.

The SMSTS course was brilliantly delivered by Brian, considering COVID environment, it couldn't be held in a physical classroom so the course was delivered via Zoom. This was surprisingly engaging and informative. Brian is highly professional, calm and knowledgeable, it was really good to be part of this diverse group.

Very good training facilities. Teacher and everyone really helpful. Would really recommend it, to anyone trying to get their qualifications. Also complementary brews on site

Just completed my SMSTS Refresher course. All felt a little weird at first due to the fact the course was delivered on zoom but the course was delivered brilliantly. The staff were easy to get along with and I would recommend anyone who needs to take one of the courses offered to do it through Know How as you wont regret it!

Course was delivered clearly, I instructor was great and funny. All staff were polite and easy to get on with. The facilities were new and clean. Would recommend taking your courses here. I will be using them again in the future.

Just completed the Healthy and Safety awareness course for the CSCS card and it's top marks to the trainers. I'd recommend them to anybody looking to expand their knowledge. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Course was delivered very well and the adaptation made for Covid-19 safely were well thought out and delivered the learning outcomes as needed.
