Successful IPAF Application
On the 27th November 06 B.F.T. were officially accepted after approval, as a member of the ‘INTERNATIONAL POWERED ACCESS FEDERATION’ (IPAF).
The International Powered Access Federation ‘work to promote and raise the standards of the powered access industry and to further the good name of the industry and trade as a whole’.
IPAF was formed in 1983 to represent the whole of the industry, from manufacturing, distribution and rental trades to associate businesses and users of all forms of powered access equipment. They are the most influential body of their kind, and have members from over 20 countries worldwide.
Over the years, IPAF has been responsible for many of the safety initiatives, which govern operation, and have been key players in the formation of the relevant European legislation. Today IPAF operates through a number of committees covering Hirers (Powered Access Interest Group : IPAF/CPA), Manufacturers (Manufacturers' Technical Committee), Mast Climbing and Training. These committees are made up of elected members and are shaping the policy, rules and regulations, which affect your working practices.
By gaining successful application of membership to IPAF, B.F.T. has shown its commitment and enthusiasm to conduct their business lawfully observing all relevant legislation and regulations relevant to its new Mast Climbing Division.
As well as being active on behalf of the industry, IPAF also play a hands on role in the training of operators across the industry. Our Engineers here at B.F.T. attend their Mast Climbing Erection courses at certified IPAF training centres, where they learn not only to meet the demands of EC legislation in the relevant field, but also emerge as safer, more capable and confident operators. Therefore, issuing them with their PAL Card, recognising them on all major sites as able to carry out the works detailed on it.
