At the recent IPAF Platform Türkiye Konferansı, attendees were treated to a vibrant exhibition of artwork by the children of İstanbul Vinç employees. This special initiative, organised as part of İstanbul Vinç’s corporate social responsibility programme, brought imagination and engineering together in a unique and uplifting way.
Coinciding with National Cancer Survivors’ Day on 1 June, IPAF has launched an industry-wide fundraising initiative with Weston Park Cancer Charity to raise funds for vital cancer research.
In 2023, falls, slips, and trips accounted for 421 of 1,075 construction-related deaths – nearly 39% of all fatalities. Most fatal falls (260) occurred from heights between 6 and 30 feet, with ladders and stairs involved in 109 incidents. These figures emphasise the ongoing need for comprehensive safety training to protect workers in the construction industry.

Before using a MEWP you must be trained to the applicable MEWP classification and be familiarised on the specific machine. Familiarisation is required on any MEWP that is significantly different in weight, height, length or complexity to the MEWP on which training took place. The operator, supervisor, ground person/rescuer, service engineer and demonstrator all need adequate familiarisation to undertake their duties.
This webinar explores how Mast Climbing Work Platforms (MCWPs) are revolutionising safety and productivity in challenging projects. Industry experts shares insights, best practices, and real-world case studies to showcase the potential of MCWPs.
The mobile elevating work platform (MEWP) may be significantly different than the MEWP the operator was trained on. Accidents can occur from operating an unfamiliar MEWP, for example by moving the platform in the opposite direction than intended, or by incorrectly setting up the outriggers.
MEWP overturn incidents often result in serious injuries or fatalities. Instability leading to overturn is commonly among the top four causes of lost time incidents (LTIs) annually, according to global data.
