Mobile elevated work platform safety was the focus of recent talks in China between Haulotte and IPAF (International Powered Access Federation).

As hazard factors are not predictive, there is always a risk of accidents, especially when using aerial work platforms. To ensure the safety of operators, Haulotte says it is doing its utmost to teach users on the safer use of its machines and is working closely with IPAF.

June 2022 was IPAF’s 21st annual Safety Month, this time under the themes of “Comply with the law on work safety and be the main and responsible actor”.

As part of the program, Haulotte China and IPAF jointly organised a unique online meeting on MEWP safety.

The meeting was attended by IPAF China representative Bai RI, Haulotte China engineer and IPAF chief trainer Eric Li, and Haulotte China marketing manager Tim Mo. 

Haulotte and IPAF were able to discuss their vision for a safer future and the actions that need to be taken to raise safety awareness among all stakeholders. 

Initiatives stemming from the session include launching a monthly safety topic through the WECHAT platform, raising awareness of IPAF training, improving customer safety awareness, and providing customers with safety training on MEWPs.
