If you think you have a winner

If you have or know of a powered access related product or service that ought to win an award then you have just 20 days left to apply.

The deadline for submission of entries for the annual IPAF sponsored Iapa awards closes on January 10th.

The way these awards work is that you, or someone applying on your behalf, must complete an entry form stating why your product or service should win. Only products or services that have been entered by the closing date will be considered.

The categories are:
• Access Rental Company of the Year
• IPAF Safety Champion
• Contribution to Safe Working at Height
• Access Project of the Year
• Product of the Year - Vehicle/trailer-mounted
• Product of the Year - Self-propelled (booms, scissors, spiders)
• Product of the Year - Mast climbing work platforms/hoists
• Product of the Year - Low-level access
• Award for Outstanding After Sales Service
• Lifetime Achievement Award

The following three categories are restricted to IPAF member companies and individuals only:

• Best Marketing Campaign for IPAF Training
• IPAF Training Instructor of the Year
• Best New IPAF Training Centre

Most of these categories are self-explanatory, The Lifetime Achievement award though is more for an individual who may be coming towards the end of their career or who may be moving on from a distinguished access related career to something new. Ideally votes/applications for this award are posted by third parties, rather than the individual himself.

The awards will be announced on April 14th at the IPAF Summit in Amsterdam.
