Mast climbing work platforms - for operators

This means that attending classes is a good source of knowledge and skills for those who wish to take the exam UDT qualifications.

The Office of Technical Inspection in Poland is responsible for checking qualifications for the operation of mast platforms. Its inspectors conduct an examination in the form of a test with closed questions and a practical test. A positive result in both parts of the exam is the basis for the award of qualifications. From June 2020, the qualifications are granted for stationary and mast mobile platforms at the same time, and their validity is 10 years. The document is in the form of a plastic card with a photo, it is valid throughout Poland, and in some cases - also abroad.

The mast range is from a few to about 10 meters.
