Safe machine loading
11 February 2016
IPAF’s stand at the bauma 2016 construction show, which takes place from 11th to 17th April in Munich, Germany, will highlight the safe loading and unloading of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) as an essential part of site operations.
The IPAF stand in the outdoor area will demonstrate how to load and unload MEWPs safely, share good practice and findings from IPAF’s accident reporting project, and provide a meeting point for members to network and discuss issues affecting the industry.
Almost a third of MEWP-related incidents reported by rental companies involve delivery drivers while loading and unloading machines. This is one of the trends identified from IPAF’s accident reporting project and the Federation is working to make MEWP loading and unloading activities safe and effective.
