The Training Working Group comprises instructors or representatives from IPAF approved Training Centres and was created to address the topics and issues relevant to training centres, such as legislation and regulations associated with aerial work platforms and work at height. It also participates in events and seminars as well as updating the training courses.

The two groups, along with the IPAF Italia team work both separately and together with the objective of promoting the use of aerial work platforms along with safe working at height.

The outgoing chairmen Nicola Violin and Costantino Savani, having completed their two year terms, participated in a ‘virtual’ meeting on Wednesday which selected the new chairmen who will serve for the next two years.
