Ipaf Toolbox Talks Fall Protection Posters 6092b1d0e6777

Newly released Toolbox Talks, designed to share specific safety messages on work sites, are now available from the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF). The two short presentations are aimed at explaining the use of personal fall-prevention equipment (PFPE) when using Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) and what to look for when checking PFPE before use.

The presentations are available in English with other languages to follow soon. They add to the existing suite of Toolbox Talks, which supplement the simple safety messages contained in the popular series of Andy Access posters for work sites. The Toolbox Talks can be found on the IPAF website at www.ipaf.org/toolboxtalks while all IPAF’s Andy Access posters at www.ipaf.org/AndyAccess. All are free to download and available to users of MEWP or Mast Climbing Work Platform (MCWP) equipment.

The next wave of Andy Access posters and Toolbox Talks are in development with more due to be released throughout 2021. Contact your nearest IPAF office or representative if you have any specific safety or technical queries about work at height using powered access, or to suggest a topic for inclusion on an Andy Access poster or in a Toolbox Talk presentation.
