Woods has over 20 years’ experience in the powered access industry, having started in the UK in 1990, with Building Services Plant Hire, Hewden Stuart and Euro Towers. He has been involved in work at height training since 1996 and is a certified IPAF and PASMA instructor. He ran his own training and sales business from 2008 and 2011, and was also vice-chairman of the PASMA training committee.

In 2011, he joined Instant Access in the Middle East as training manager, and has since focused on promoting safety and training standards, and developing the mobile tower and powered access business in the Gulf region. He is based in Dubai.

Speaking of his new role he said: “My new duties with IPAF will include working alongside existing and new members and training centres to give full guidance, advice and support. My key aim is to boost the safe use of powered access and to grow the number of IPAF PAL Cards within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), working with the UAE Ministry of Labour.”
