Delivering industry-recognised training courses in Powered Access, Health & Safety, and Working at Height.
Where safety and development count

Our working at height training in Bristol is designed to equip operatives, supervisors, and managers with the knowledge and practical skills needed to work safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with UK health and safety regulations.
Falls from height remain one of the leading causes of workplace injuries and fatalities in the UK, making high-quality training essential for any organisation operating in construction, facilities management, warehousing, or industrial environments. At Alide Hire Training, we deliver accredited courses that reduce risk, improve productivity, and help you meet your legal obligations with confidence.
Whether you need individual certification or group training at your site, we offer flexible, industry-recognised courses across Bristol and the surrounding areas.

IPAF Training in Bristol
Our IPAF training in Bristol is ideal for anyone who operates Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs), such as cherry pickers and scissor lifts.
IPAF (International Powered Access Federation) certification is globally recognised and demonstrates that operators are competent in safely using powered access equipment. These courses are essential for industries where elevated work platforms are used regularly.
Typical IPAF courses include:
- IPAF 3a (scissor lifts) and 3b (boom lifts) operator training
- IPAF 1b static boom training
- Harness awareness and safety
- MEWPs for managers
Delegates will learn how to safely prepare, operate, and manoeuvre equipment, as well as how to assess site conditions and minimise risks. Proper training improves both safety and efficiency, ensuring the correct equipment is used for each task.
Upon successful completion, candidates receive an IPAF PAL Card, a widely recognised qualification across the UK and internationally.
PASMA Training in Bristol
Our PASMA training in Bristol focuses on the safe assembly, use, and dismantling of mobile access towers.
PASMA (Prefabricated Access Suppliers’ and Manufacturers’ Association) training is considered the industry standard for anyone working with scaffold towers. It provides clear evidence of competence and is often required on construction and maintenance sites.
Courses typically include:
- PASMA Towers for Users
- PASMA Low Level Access
- Combined tower and low-level training
- Work at height essentials
Training covers everything from correct assembly techniques to hazard awareness and inspection procedures. Delegates gain a thorough understanding of how to work safely at height using tower systems, reducing the risk of accidents and ensuring compliance with regulations.
PASMA certification is highly regarded by employers and helps operatives demonstrate their competence on-site.
