Awards for IPAF

International Powered Access Federation IPAF has won two awards – one for a safety video and the other a training kit which promotes best practice in the use of powered access equipment.

IPAF’s ‘Spot the mistake’ video won the first prize as the best media in the ‘Health and Safety at Work’ information media contest held by the Italian health and safety authorities.

The competition organised bi-annually by Italian national social insurance organisation INAIL, as well as the regional health and safety authorities of Emilia Romagna and the municipality of Modena. Entries are evaluated based on the informational, educational and accident prevention aspects.

The video is available in English, Dutch, French, German, Italian and Spanish and can be viewed and downloaded at the publications/film section of www.ipaf.org
