IPAF Safety Harness Campaign

The UK access rental companies that attended the extraordinary meeting of PAIG a joint committee of IPAF and the CPA has issued its formal statement calling for the systematic use of harnesses with short lanyards when using boom lifts.
The statement is as follows:

“The Powered Access Interest Group (PAIG) a joint committee of the Construction Plant-hire Association (CPA) and the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) has called for all users of boom type access platforms to wear a full body harness with a short restraint lanyard attached to a suitable anchor point.

The Group specifically requests the HSE, Manufacturers, Hire Companies and Main Contractors to support this campaign to save lives through preventing ejection of users from boom platform baskets.

For full details obtain CPA – IPAF technical guidance note H1 (or refer to endorsing companies)

A new safety campaign called Clunk Click, which reinforces this message, has also been launched”.
