Our 25th anniversary is a major milestone. A time
to reflect on our past achievements and to re-focus
on realising the dreams and visions of the future.
Twenty-five years may not seem a long time; some
might say ‘big deal’. But, 25 years ago some of the
primary products were only being invented –
experimental prototypes - and the mainstream items
were only just coming into general use. IPAF, through
the vision of our founding members, has been central
to the development of our industry from the start
and we must pay tribute to the people who
conceived and have lived with the Federation from
the start.
Our Federation is unusual, if not unique, in that we
represent every aspect of the industry on a global
basis. We are not restricted by anybody or anything.
We span national frontiers, legislative and territorial
boundaries. We represent makers (manufacturers),
traders (dealers and hirers), users, trainers, professional
bodies etc. in short, every aspect associated with
mechanically elevating people to execute their
skills/work.
From our conception, IPAF’s primary ‘raison d’être’
was and is the promotion of safety – safe working
methods with safe well engineered products, operated
efficiently by well trained responsible people, bringing
maximum commercial and efficiency benefits to
industry and society at large through the application
of modern technology.
The strength of our Federation is in you, the
members. As with everything in life, you get out what
you put in. Our structure of sub-groups and
committees is the channel for you to express your
opinions, lobby authorities, and steer legislation. The
voice and authority that IPAF has around the world
is huge and respected. Because of what we are, we
are able to steer, model and direct national
standards and policy groups. Credit for these
achievements must go to the hard work and time
invested by select committee members and their
chairpersons.
Our global influence and exceptional growth record
of the last few years (doubling membership over
three/four years) has placed huge strains on your
executive staff. These challenges have been met
with fortitude and strength to address and
overcome the growing pains. Well-done and sincere
thanks to you all.
Integrity and principles have been central to my
focus during my term of office. As we grow, we get
stronger, but we must remain focused upon our
founding principles and be prepared to challenge
any abuses that undermine these central standards.
Looking forward – the future is very bright. IPAF
always grows disproportionately during difficult
economic times when people have time to
concentrate on ways to become more efficient and
develop competitive edges to ensure their own
survival. This process opens up more and more
opportunities for IPAF that can only and will only
grow our Federation to new frontiers.
The future is very bright for IPAF.

Managing Director’s
Report
25 Years
of IPAF
Why does IPAF exist at all? IPAF is a unique
organisation – it brings manufacturers, rental
companies and end users together in one
federation that is dedicated to promoting the
safe and effective use of powered access.
It started life in the UK but rapidly assumed an
international role and now has members in more
than 30 countries. IPAF’s members have always felt
it better that the industry should take a lead in
safety matters, rather than waiting for government
legislation. That role continues today and explains,
for example, why IPAF’s voluntary, standardised
operator training programme has been so
successful. From humble beginnings in 1991, the
programme now boasts more than 300 approved
training centres in 20 countries and last year, more
than 70,000 PAL Cards were issued to provide the
holder with proof of training. Nowhere is the
programme compulsory, but in many areas it has
become the norm.
Managing Director’s Report
Setting norms is what IPAF is all about and another
example of this is IPAF’s clear recommendation that
operators should wear a full-body harness with a
short lanyard in boom-type platforms. That policy is
set out in Technical Guidance Note H1 that is used
around the world. The Clunk Click campaign for
harnesses on booms has won resonance worldwide.
4
2007 was a very busy and successful year for IPAF.
Our major presence at exhibitions like bauma, SED,
SHE and many other events gave us a high profile.
Our organisation of conferences such as TABS,
Europlatform and Professional Development
Seminars was another way of providing our
members with more services.
IPAF introduced new PAL Card categories in a move
to align with international standards governing the
design and manufacture of access platforms. This
major change brought a lot of additional work in
the background, but will make the identification of
machine type easier and more streamlined in the
long run.
I express my sincere thanks to all the unsung
heroes – committees, working groups and staff –
for taking on often difficult tasks and bringing
these to a successful conclusion with fortitude and
grace.
IPAF is your federation, so tell us what you want
and where you want the federation to go. IPAF is
growing very rapidly on an international level. Let’s
work together to make this safe industry even safer.
The only way is up!
Tim Whiteman
Managing Director, IPAF
The powered access industry was something of a
jungle back then, prior to the formation of IPAF.
There was little specific legislation in place for an
industry that had grown very rapidly from a
situation where platforms were used almost
entirely by fire brigades, local authorities and a
relatively small number of specialist applications.
This third group covered platforms purchased by
very specialised end users, such as the military
(Royal Air Force), specific industrial plants and
process engineering, and local authorities for the
maintenance of street lighting.
At that time, there were two organisations in place
to cater for the needs of manufacturers and rental
companies: the International Federation of
Hydraulic Platform Manufacturers (IFHPM) and the
International Work Platform Association (IWPA). The
IFHPM had approximately 15 members. The IWPA
was established in 1976 to cater for the interests of
the equipment rental industry, which was the vehicle
that caused the explosion in the use of access
platforms. The IWPA was set up by Paul Adorian
and John Rusling.
The 11 original members included EPL International
Ltd (a John Laing subsidiary), of which Paul Adorian
was managing director, John Rusling Ltd, Gala
Engineering Ltd, Calavar Corporation, JLG
Industries, Inc., Hy-Ryder Division of Tasker and
Booth Ltd, TIRFOR Ltd, Henry R Jahn & Sons Inc.
(New York), Liftec Engineering Ltd, the Whippendell
Welding Company Ltd and Hymo Lift Ltd. In 1983,
the IWPA’s membership stood at 70.
For some years, both the IFHPM and the IWPA were
concerned to establish some sort of order in respect
of safety standards and legislation to ensure that
this rapidly growing industry was established on a
sound footing. Knowing that the European
Community would almost certainly wish to legislate
in this area, both organisations were determined to
ensure that the responsible members within the
industry worked towards the inevitable European
legislation and ensured representation on the
Committee working on a British Standard at that
time.
Rubbing shoulders
In those early days, both IFHPM and IWPA were
represented on these committees. There was clear
duplication of effort. This was probably the catalyst
that finally enabled the two organisations to come
together in December 1983 to form the
International Powered Access Federation (IPAF). The
original IPAF meeting was held at a hotel at the
Birmingham Exhibition Centre and 39 former
members of IFHPM and IWPA became the founding
members of IPAF.
At that time, manufacturing organisations and user
organisations tended to keep each other at arm’s
length. There was considerable anxiety on the part
of the manufacturers about becoming part of an
organisation where they would have to rub
shoulders with their customers. Credit is due to
John Barker, managing director of Simon
Engineering, Dudley, who was president of the

resulted in criticism of their products or services.
Happily, this resistance was soon overcome when
they saw that IPAF was gaining members, being
recognised in Brussels and clearly achieving its
original aims of establishing a safer and respectable
industry.
IFHPM, for showing the enormous benefits that
would accrue to all concerned by establishing an
organisation where the manufacturers and their
customers could rub shoulders regularly. John
Barker went on to become the first President of
IPAF.
This situation was certainly unique then and has led
to an enormous amount of harmony and goodwill
within the industry ever since. By manufacturers and
rental companies joining forces, the flow of
information on safety related topics has obviously
been beneficial in promoting safety. The feedback
from the companies that buy, use and rent the
products relayed directly back to the manufacturers
was a tremendous contribution to the continuing
development of safer products. Denis Ashworth,
former technical director of Simon Engineering,
Dudley, played the main role, persevering in
attending and contributing to meetings of TC98,
the committee that drafts the standards for Europe,
for over 20 years, initially on behalf of the IFHPM
and later on behalf of IPAF.
25 Years of IPAF
Winning credibility
6
The major challenge facing IPAF in its early years
was one of credibility. There were certainly a
number of manufacturers who considered it beneath
their dignity to join an organisation – most of
whose members were rental companies – and did
not like the idea of having to mix with their
customers and debate matters that might have
Initially, with the relatively small membership, it was
difficult to obtain cooperation from government
departments. But IPAF was helped by the enormous
interest and cooperation received from Bernard
James, then a senior HSE inspector with
responsibility for lifts (elevators), who was asked by
the Health and Safety Executive to take on the
responsibility for this fledgling industry. IPAF’s
relationship with the HSE grew from strength to
strength on the foundations established with the
cooperation of Bernard James.
IPAF set out, from day one, to promote the use of
access platforms as a safer way of working at
height, as a means of undertaking work at height
that could often not be achieved in any other way
with any degree of safety. This was also a means of
generating profit for rental companies and effecting
economies for the clients, as so often the use of an
access platform proved highly cost effective when
compared with traditional means of access and the
long-term obstruction caused. The years have clearly
shown that IPAF has achieved those aims in
abundance.
membership dropped like a stone, with companies
either going bust or cancelling their subscriptions to
cut their costs. This so constrained the Federation’s
finances that arrangements had to be made, at very
short notice, to double the then bank overdraft
facility of £10,000 to ensure survival. Had it not
been for the assistance provided by John Barker, as
managing director of Simon Engineering (Dudley)
Ltd, in agreeing for his company to guarantee
£10,000 of the IPAF increased overdraft, IPAF might
well have suffered the fate of some of its
unfortunate members.
With the increased facility in place, IPAF was able to
negotiate the sale of its house magazine, Access
Now, to the KHL Group in 1993, which generated
instant cash, with ongoing payments for several
years, all of which enabled IPAF to ride out the
recession and re-double the growth thereafter.
The next milestone, which certainly led to an
astonishing achievement, was the introduction of
the IPAF Operator Training Programme in 1991. The
inspiration to move into operator training came
from Frank Huish, IPAF President and managing
director of Instant Zip-Up. His company was already
providing an operator training programme and he
had realised both the need and the potential future
demand. He was generous enough to propose that
IPAF should set up its own programme – little did
he know what he had started.
In the spring of 1993, IPAF had 152 members. In
January 2008, IPAF reached the figure of 555
members. The recent huge growth in international
membership of the Federation has clearly
demonstrated the need for an organisation to
promote the activities of an industry which has
regulated itself to a very high standard for many
years. One only has to look at the hundreds and
thousands of access platforms now in use
worldwide and note the incredibly low rate of
accidents to appreciate that IPAF has taken
significant steps since its day of inception in 1983.
The members, Council, Board and staff of IPAF can
look both backwards with pride and forwards with
excitement in maintaining those high standards and
ensuring the continued growth of the industry.
Reaping success
Growing pains
In 1991, 349 operator cards were issued, rising
through 1995 to 607 cards; 1996 to 1,692 cards
and in 1997 reaching 3,266 cards. These cards were
computer printed on cards sealed in a plastic wallet
and, as the staff found out to their cost, did not
survive more than one trip through the washing
machine. The introduction of the plastic yellow PAL
Card (Powered Access Licence) in 1998 saw the
programme take off, with 5,636 cards issued that
year, which doubled in 1999 to 11,071. All these
cards were confined to UK operators.
Another major milestone occurred during the
recession of the late 1980s, when the IPAF
One only has to look at the more than 70,000 cards
issued in 2007, to operators worldwide, to
On top of that, it has demonstrated that the use of
access platforms, quite apart from providing a safer
work place, provides a considerably more
comfortable means of working at height, which has
increased productivity enormously.
understand the significance of this training
programme, probably still unique in the world as
the only truly international operator training card
issued for any specific industry. Much of the
success of IPAF’s growth, and particularly the
growth of the training programme, rests with the
Federation’s decision to invest in a high level of
public relations and advertising activity.

IPAF has had an extremely successful year, with
training in the UK increasing by 21% from 2006 to
2007, from more than 54,000 to more than 66,000.
Isabelle Laplume took over from Bernard Volut as
IPAF’s representative for France and Frenchspeaking Switzerland in October 2007.
The number of Italian members doubled to 40 in
2007 while training centres numbered 17 by the
end of 2007.
Despite some concerns about the UK economy in
2008, IPAF has budgeted for another year of
growth based on important selling points such as
manufacturer/hirer backing, the presence of
industry experts, the strong branding, and the
revamped course.
IPAF-France was present at the Batimat exhibition
in Paris in November 2007. The focus for 2008 is to
increase IPAF recognition in France through the
press, exhibitions and direct mail campaigns, and to
work with organisations such as CNAMTS, INRS and
OPPBTP in order to promote IPAF training and
membership.
The Italian Training Working Group has been
active, among others, in updating the relevant
sections on regulations in the Italian training
material.
Tony Groat has taken on the full-time role of
AWPT Executive Vice President, with Denny
Eckstine as AWPT Vice President – Technical

Plans to stimulate further demand in the UK
include targeting colleges, drafting new standards
(e.g. for the arboriculture industry) and introducing
new courses.

Benelux
The number of training centres in the Benelux
doubled from 5 to 10 in 2007 and looks set to
continue growing in 2008.
Hans Aarse represents IPAF in the Benelux. IPAFBenelux assisted in five exhibitions with Dutch
training centres. It also participated in the advisory
committee of the Dutch Petrochemical Safety
Association SSVV, aiming for acceptance of IPAF
training as standard for the industry.
Germany
There are now more than 60 training centres in the
German-speaking countries. Demand for training is
growing rapidly, says Reinhard Willenbrock of IPAFDeutschland.
The second TABS conference held in June 2007
was another success. The introduction of the new
code of practice for the training and authorisation
of platform operators by the
Berufsgenossenschaften (German safety
organisation) in 2008 is expected to stimulate
demand for training.
Gerhard Hillebrand of IPAF-Italia achieved strong
presence at several events in 2007, including
Movint-Expologistica, Ambiente Lavoro and SAIE.
Spain
In 2007, there were 25 members in Spain and 17
training centres.
Through Romina Vanzi, IPAF-España has good
working relationships with ANAPAT (the Spanish
platform rental association) and Fundación Laboral
de la Construcción.
The SMOPYC 2008 exhibition in Zaragoza will be a
major project and is expected to strengthen IPAF’s
growing presence in Spain.
Aerial Work Platform Training (AWPT) has been
named as an ANSI A92 main committee member, in
addition to its presence on many A92 subcommittees.
As of end 2007, IPAF had 21 members in North
America.
2008 saw AWPT with a major presence at
CONEXPO, as part of its mission to boost
membership and training in
North America.
“IPAF is growing
very rapidly on an
international level.”

Training Committee
2007 was a productive year for the Training
Committee. A number of new courses were
approved:
• The MEWPs for Managers course was introduced
at the beginning of the year.
• The new operator, demonstrator and harness
courses were prepared for 2008.
• A new course for telehandlers with integrated
platforms was made available, and
• A new load/unload course has been produced for
2008.
The groundwork for some of these courses has been
going on for a number of years and the committee
would like to thank all those who have contributed
their time and effort towards the production.
The new IPAF categories will make it easier for operators,
instructors and management to identify machine type.

The IPAF Training Committee meets quarterly to
discuss issues raised by training centres through the
committee members or directly to the International
Training Manager. An open meeting takes place
once a year to offer the opportunity for all IPAF
members to express their concerns and/or opinions
on any issues that have been or need to be
addressed at committee level. All meetings are well
attended and reflect the interest and commitment
of members to IPAF and the powered access
industry as a whole.
Debate surrounding the IPAF categories has finally
been resolved and, while the new system may have
its critics, it will simplify the type identity for
operator, instructor and management. The
alignment to design standards has been a bold
move on IPAF’s part, but the committee feels that
in the longer term, it will prove to be one that
standardises the ever increasing types and styles of
MEWPs.
Standardisation of presentations was the main
objective for 2007. The Training Committee has
gone a long way to achieving that. New
qualification criteria for instructors and senior
instructors is an important project for 2008 as part
of the Committee’s mission to enhance the existing
standards and reputation of the IPAF training
programme.
The Manufacturers’ Technical Committee meets twice a year
to discuss issues of current interest, here during the bauma
2007 show in Munich.
Chairman: Roger Bowden, Niftylift
Convenor: Gil Male, IPAF Technical Officer
Role and aims
The Manufacturer’s Technical Committee provides a
forum for manufacturers to discuss issues of current
interest in relation to MEWP design and
development. It monitors changes to and difficulties
in the implementation of legislation and standards,
disseminates information to manufacturers, and
lobbies authorities and standards making bodies in
Europe and North America to ensure that
manufacturers’ views are heard and understood. It
often forms working groups of interested parties to
discuss and develop ideas, statements or guidance
to address and provide advice on issues of concern.
Achievements in 2007
Relationships with other organisations
An infrastructure has been developed in conjunction
with the Fédération Européenne de la Manutention
(FEM, European Federation of Materials Handling)
and Orgalime (the European Engineering Industries
Association representing the interests of the
Mechanical, Electrical, Electronic, Metalworking and
Metal Articles Industries) to influence EC decisions
that affect the MEWP industry. This is helping IPAF
to provide input to the forthcoming European
Commission (EC) guidance on Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC and has helped IPAF to respond to a
number of issues pursued by national authorities
through the EC.
Advice continues to be provided to the UK Business
Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Department
(BERR – previously DTI) and the Health and Safety
Executive (HSE) to assist their decisions and support
new and existing projects.
Work has continued with the European Rental
Association (ERA) on a variety of projects, e.g.
concerning industry statistics and common
approaches within Europe. In particular, a statement
has been prepared and is currently under
consultation within and outside IPAF on best
practice in the thorough examination of mobile
equipment, in our case MEWPs.
Technical issues
Directives: A project is underway to ensure that
decisions made on any noise limits set by the EC for
MEWPs under Directive 2000/14/EC are currently
achievable. Proposals for submission to the EC are
at an advanced stage.
Standards: The revisions of ISO 16368 (Mobile
elevating work platforms – Design calculations,
safety requirements and test methods) and EN280
(Mobile elevating work platforms – Design
calculations, stability criteria, construction safety
examinations and tests) are to be circulated for
public comment by standards bodies in 2008. IPAF
has lobbied successfully on a number of issues and
played a major part in developing these standards.
One example is the new requirements for scissors
with extension platforms, which were not previously
covered by either standard. The standards now have
many identical requirements but there are still some
important issues to resolve, notably load control.
The process of developing these two standards in
parallel is encouraging international agreement on
many design issues and identifying differences of
opinion where further work is required to achieve a
global standard.
Specific issues: Concerns raised by national
authorities, associations and MEWP users and
suppliers continue to be addressed. A number of
working groups have been formed, and have met
and communicated on a variety of issues.

Eco-design is a world issue and developments in
European Directives may have an impact on MEWP
design. IPAF will continue to monitor the situation,
consult with its members and lobby whenever and
wherever necessary.

Activities & aims
12
In 2007 the International MCWP Committee had
two meetings (at bauma in April and at SAIE in
October). The Committee aims to improve and
promote the safe use of MCWPs and reduce
accidents by introducing quality procedures.
Proposals for 2008 include: Safe Working Load
(SWL) stickers for MCWPs, a standardised handover
Another challenge is to continue internationalisation
of the MCWP training programme, promoting it at
events and exhibitions around the world.
Mast Climbing Work

Committee
In 2007 the Committee launched the revamped
MCWP course to offer a consistent, international
and harmonised training programme that will make
the industry’s operatives safer around the world. As
a result, IPAF has already translated the course into
German, Spanish and Italian with future orders
already placed in other languages.
documentation and an IPAF recommended code of
practice for the safe use of MCWPs.
2007 achievements
2007 was an important year for the International
MCWP committee. The group is now active and has
important tasks to carry out. The group has been
strengthened by the addition of new members
(manufacturers and rental companies) who provide
an international point of view on safety issues and
quality procedures. The international nature of the
Committee allows it to tap on the global knowledge
of its members to take the right steps forward.
Chairman: Andrew Reid, SGB Mastclimbers
Convenor: Romina Vanzi, IPAF-España
By the end of 2008, the Committee wants to issue
an IPAF technical guidance for the safe use,
inspection, training and maintenance of MCWPs
based on BS7981.
The International MCWP Committee established the
Transport Platform Working Group that aims to
introduce a European standard for transport
platforms. This working group is constituted of the
main international manufacturers.
2008 plans & challenges
The International MCWP Committee plans to
implement all initiatives that have been approved by
the Committee. At the same time the Committee
wants to promote the use of MCWPs within the
construction industry and will improve the
communication among IPAF members to propagate
the use of MCWPs vs. other traditional static access
solutions.
The revised MCWP course is being well received and is
stimulating demand for MCWP training in other languages.
Chairman: Cameron Reid, SGB Mastclimbers
Convenor: Rupert Douglas-Jones
IPAF International Training Manager
The UK & Ireland MCWP Committee provides a
forum to members to progressively develop and
enhance collectively the standards of the UK and
Ireland mast climbing work platform industry.
The Committee now can boast having 90% of the
UK and Ireland mastclimbing rental companies as
members, with BFT and ELC joining the trade
association in 2007. The Committee met twice in
the year: once in Whittlebury Hall in March and the
other in Dublin during November. The meeting in
Dublin was in an attempt to introduce new small
Irish MCWP rental companies to IPAF and
demonstrate the strengths of what the Committee
can offer to fellow members.
The MCWP industry continued to grow throughout
2007 and as a result so has the demand on training
for operatives in the installation, demonstration and
use of the equipment. The IPAF MCWP training
centres issued a record 365 MCWP PAL Cards
(Powered Access Licences) in 2007.
Consistency is the key. When the Committee first
talked about updating the course, the focus was on
enhancing competencies in the UK. But the larger
aim was to provide the same level of training across
the world in order to, in the long run, reduce
accidents and create a safer worldwide industry. The
fact that there is now demand for the training
course in numerous foreign languages suggests that
the new course is being well received.
Following on from the launch of the new training
material was a lengthy discussion during
November’s Committee meeting surrounding further
industry enhancements through the development of
competencies in other areas of the MCWP industry
such as thorough examination etc. This subject was
agreed to be large enough that warranted a
different forum to be arranged, involving the UK
instructors, to discuss and agree the areas that
would be considered as requiring future training
needs. This is due to happen in early 2008.
The challenge for 2008 whilst the industry
continues to grow is to encourage safe operations
through good proactive people development and
training. The Committee believes it is the role of the
Committee members to champion this approach and
continue to grow a safe and successful UK and
Ireland industry.

The Clunk Click campaign initiated by PAIG has caught the
imagination of the access world and helps save lives by
encouraging the use of harnesses on boom type platforms.
Chairman: Austin Baker, AFI-Uplift
(until December 2007)
Convenor: Rupert Douglas-Jones
IPAF International Training Manager
The Powered Access Interest Group (PAIG) is a joint
committee of the Construction Plant-hire
Association (CPA) and IPAF.
There is a call for a broader training programme on
an international basis, covering the more general
aspects of telehandler site use. There is currently no
pan-European training programme and many
countries have no nationally agreed programme
either. This is in the early stages of consideration.
Members willing to assist in the development of
such a course are invited to contact the convenor.
Undoubtedly a major achievement is that PAIG
exists at all. This is not meant to be trite. However
one must never underestimate that over the years, a
steadfast group of people supported by their
companies continue to provide time to ensure that
the industry is policed and controlled. They are
supported by the trade organisations and the
manufacturers of access worldwide. The invaluable
support from the Health and Safety Executive has
assisted PAIG greatly.
Perhaps the greatest pride is the Clunk Click
campaign that was universally accepted and
prompted the biggest turnout at a PAIG meeting.
The existence of any campaign that aims to save
lives is beyond mere words. However words can be
used to say that everyone in the industry stands side
by side in insisting that they are united in the
stance for making working at height the safest
option.
The IPAF Rental+ award is seen here presented to Brian
Fleckney of Panther Platform Rentals (left) by IPAF audit
programme manager Giles Councell.
The award is open to all IPAF rental companies
wishing to enrol. There is an annual fee of £400
that includes an initial on-site audit and annual
repeat audits. Participating companies are advised
on suitable ways to meet the IPAF Rental+
requirements and supplied guidelines prior to the
actual audit.
The IPAF Rental+ Committee has suggested that a
number of guidance handouts be put together by
IPAF to aid companies to achieve award status, i.e.:
Site survey sheets
Verbal machine selection checklist
Chairman: Gordon Leicester, Facelift
Convenor: Giles Councell
IPAF Audit Programme Manager
Sample PDI Report
IPAF introduced the IPAF Rental+ quality mark to
reward companies that are committed to providing
their customers with top-level services.
IPAF is on hand throughout the audit process to
assist applicants and to ensure that companies are
approaching the requirements in the best way to
suit their needs. The audit procedure involves
monitoring the whole rental process from initial
enquiry to invoicing, ensuring that the level of
service is of the highest quality at all times.
Half a dozen IPAF members qualified for the mark
during 2007:
Rapid Platforms Ltd, based in Bishop’s Stortford
Sample six-monthly inspection certificate
Handover checklists
Facelift Access Hire of Hickstead
Panther Platform Rentals Ltd of Dunstable
The IPAF Rental+ award has two main benefits:
AJ Access Platforms of Caldicot
The advantage of an independent assessment.
Peter Hird & Sons Ltd of Hull
Members who meet the standard have been certified
by their trade federation as providing a high level of
service, thus distinguishing them in the industry.
Astley Hire Ltd of Leigh
At a meeting of the Access Link earlier in 2007, all
members attending expressed a keen desire to
obtain the IPAF Rental+ quality mark. AJ Access
Platforms and Peter Hird & Sons have already
achieved this status.
Another eight IPAF member companies are currently
working towards meeting the standards under this
voluntary programme.
Companies authorised to display the IPAF Rental+
mark have been independently audited by IPAF’s
quality assurance professional auditors. The auditors
work to a set of auditable criteria with rental
companies to meet defined standards in customer
service, safety, staff training, contract terms, and
machine inspection, continuous improvement being
an objective of all competitive companies.
“IPAF's structure of sub-groups
and committees is the channel for
members to express their opinions, lobby
authorities and steer legislation”

IPAF’s Marketing and
Public Relations
Activities
IPAF’s media work aims to promote the safe and
effective use of powered access in the widest
sense.
The Federation invests in a high level of advertising
activity and participation at major exhibitions
around the world such CONEXPO, SMOPYC, SED,
Ambiente Lavoro, Platformers’ Days, APEX, SAIE,
Intermat and bauma.
Website
The new-look IPAF website was launched on 4 July
2007. The website gets more than 450,000 hits a
month, which works out to more than 6,400 unique
visitors a month. New features will be added in
2008, such as a regular e-newsletter and a members
only section.
IPAF continues to provide regular news columns to
Access International, Cranes & Access, the German
Kran & Bühne and Allgemeine Bauzeitung, the
Spanish Movicarga and the American Lift & Access.
IPAF also provides a regular stream of articles
throughout the year to publications such as: Freight
Industry Times, Handling - Storage - Distribution,
Industrial Focus, Materials Handling Directory,
Modern Utility Management, Museums & Heritage,
National Construction, Roofing Trades Journal, Safe
Working at Height, Safety Management, UK Plant

Journals
Annual Report
The IPAF Powered Access Review was published in
October 2007. This issue was the largest so far, with
a circulation of more than 40,000 to the readers of
Contract Journal, Plant Managers’ Journal and
Utility Week.
The Annual Report is another first for IPAF and will
be a regular item in the coming years.
Berlinda Nadarajan, IPAF Information Officer
The second German IPAF-Journal (circulation
35,000 to readers of VDBUM Information and Kran
& Bühne) was published in time for bauma 2007.
Press Work
IPAF issued more than 15 UK press releases in 2007.
Of these, 5 to 6 were corporate press releases that
were also sent to the North American press and
translated into the main European languages that
IPAF works in: Dutch, French, German, Italian and
Spanish.
The first Italian IPAF-Informazione (circulation
30,000 to readers of Edilizia e Territorio) was
published in March 2008.
These magazines play an important role in
promoting the concept of powered access while at
the same time giving vital safety related
information.
“Much of the success of IPAF's
growth rests with the Federation's
decision to invest in a high level of public
relations and advertising activity”

IPAF’s Auditing
Activities
Financial Summary
2007
All active IPAF training centres are subject to
quality audits and expected to meet stringent
quality procedures. IPAF has increased its
auditing activities internationally to ensure that
training is delivered to high standards on a
consistent basis throughout the world.
The International Powered Access Federation is a
company limited by guarantee. It operates as a notfor-profit organisation which is obliged to re-invest
all surpluses in furthering the aims of the
organisation as set out by its members.
The IPAF training programme for platform operators
is certified by TÜV as conforming to ISO 18878. A
total of 325 active training centres worldwide were From left to right: Geoff Marshall, Giles Councell and
Bill Buckley (until December 2007).
audited in 2007.
IPAF has in the past experienced times of great
financial instability which in its early years
endangered the continuing implementation of its
policies. Fortunately the sound remedial action
taken by the Council and staff at that time set the
Federation on the way to financial stability.
There are three types of audits: initial audits of
facilities, annual surveillance audits and
unannounced audits. IPAF-approved training centres
receive a surveillance visit each year. This involves a
review of the training facilities and identification of
any corrective action needed. The auditor also
examines the training paperwork and instructors’
records to verify compliance with the documented
training centre requirements. Unannounced visits are
selected at random by the IPAF auditing team from
the dates and locations provided through the IPAF
online application system. The auditor assesses the
day’s training session, which includes a theory and a
practical part.
At the end of 2007 your Federation has for the first
time achieved an annual turnover of more than
£2 million. The final figures are available in the
audited accounts presented to the Council, but
turnover was expected to be approximately 30% up
on 2006 when we achieved £1.6 million. The
budget set by your Council for 2008 sees that trend
continuing.
IPAF has in recent years been investing in growing
its influence and revenue outside its home market
(the UK) and has now developed sustainable
operations in several European areas e.g. Germany,
Spain, Italy and the Benelux.
It is now investing heavily in the US and the
Council approved a 4-year plan during 2007 which
relies on significant funding to allow the
development of member benefits and a training
programme for our North American members.
Despite the ongoing financial contribution to its US
subsidiary AWPT, IPAF’s overall results showed an
above-budget performance at the end of the year.
In common with most non-profit associations,
IPAF’s Council has set a target of holding the
equivalent of 8 months of operating costs in a
reserve fund to safeguard members’ investment
during any downturn. At the end of 2007 the
Federation’s reserves stood at just over 6 months of
operating costs and are slowly growing.
In summary the Federation is in good financial
health which allows it the confidence to develop
additional membership benefits and services.

Managing Director, IPAF

Together with Giles Councell and Geoff Marshall,
the UK team has been expanded in 2008 to include
Chris Smith and Richard Steele. Andrea Boldrini has
recently been appointed to audit training centres in
Italy. IPAF is also looking to recruit auditors in
Germany, the Netherlands and North America.
