ISCHEBECK TITAN ACHIEVES EPF TRAINER MEMBERSHIP

Strengthening Safety, Training, and Industry Standards

EPF Trainer Membership

Ischebeck TITAN is proud to announce that, following a successful audit, we have achieved Trainer Member status with the Edge Protection Federation (EPF).

As an already long-standing EPF Hire Member, this latest accreditation marks an important step forward, reinforcing our commitment to raising safety standards, improving competency, and supporting the construction industry through accredited training.

What This Means for Ischebeck TITAN

Becoming an EPF Trainer Member positions Ischebeck TITAN as more than a supplier of edge protection systems. We are now recognised as a company that actively contributes to:

Improving on-site safety standards
Developing workforce competency
Delivering structured, accredited training

This strengthens our role as a technical partner to contractors, supporting projects from design and supply through to training and implementation. Achieving EPF Trainer Membership required a comprehensive audit across multiple areas of the business. This included assessment of:

Company policies and procedures
Health & safety systems
Insurance documentation
Equipment inspection and maintenance
Sourcing and compliance of training equipment

This ensures that all training is delivered to the highest industry standards, with robust systems in place to support quality and consistency.

Built on Experience and Expertise

The accreditation has been led by Andrew Newton, Onsite Demonstrator / Product Trainer, who brings over 12 years of experience in edge protection, spanning both operational and training roles.

Over the past six months, Andrew has worked closely with the business to achieve this milestone, building on a strong foundation of practical, on-site knowledge.

His qualifications include:

City & Guilds Award in Education & Training
City & Guilds Train the Trainer
EPF Approved Trainer
EPF Managers & Operatives trained
CSCS Blue Skilled (Edge Protection)
Emergency First Aid at Work

This combination of hands-on experience and formal training credentials ensures that all courses delivered are both practical and relevant to real site conditions.

Delivering EPF Operative Training

As part of this accreditation, Ischebeck TITAN is now approved to deliver the EPF Operative Course.

This allows us to provide direct, accredited training to our customers, ensuring operatives working with edge protection systems are fully competent and compliant.

For contractors, this means:

Access to recognised, industry-approved training
Greater confidence in workforce capability
Improved compliance with health & safety standards

Why Training Matters

Falls from height remain one of the leading causes of serious injury in construction. Edge protection systems play a critical role in mitigating this risk but only when installed and used correctly. By investing in accredited training, contractors can:

Reduce risk and improve site safety
Ensure compliance with regulations
Increase efficiency and confidence on site
Demonstrate competency to clients and principal contractors
