“Common standards and consistently will facilitate mast climber exports around the world and into new markets. The Committee has challenging work to do with the introduction of new regulation and training standards into new territories, and the representation of its members’ interests and best practice. It has to inform and educate regulatory bodies so that they understand and accept the standards, which IPAF has helped develop, and recognise the PAL Card (Powered Access Licence) and what it stands for.”

Romina Vanzi of IPAF-España continues in her role as committee convenor. She is also convenor of the Transport Platform Working Group.
