All MPS craftsmen have always had training for use of high-reach equipment, but this year MPS has begun a plan to ensure all employees receive a PAL Card. The PAL (Powered Access Licensed-Registration) Card is recognized worldwide across industries as proof of platform operator training to the highest standard. It is issued by the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) and its North American subsidiary, AWPT, to platform operators who successfully complete a training course at an AWPT-approved training center. The AWPT training program was developed by leading industry professionals and meets OSHA requirements.
