IPAF & OHSSAI Foundation: A New Partnership for Safety
IPAF Middle East & Asia has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the OHSSAI Foundation, reinforcing our shared commitment to advancing health, safety, environment, and sustainability (HSE&S) across industries.
What we aim to achieve:
- Co-develop training initiatives for MEWP operators – including in regions where uptake has historically been lower.
- Share best practices and safety guidance tailored to local HSE contexts.
- Amplify safety messaging through joint campaigns, conferences, and workshops.
- Leverage OHSSAI’s network of safety professionals to spread the reach of IPAF’s operator and manager training.
This MoU marks a strategic step in strengthening collaboration with the safety community in India and beyond. By combining OHSSAI’s HSE leadership with IPAF’s technical expertise, we believe we can make powered access safer for operators, supervisors, and the industry as a whole.
Jason Woods, IPAF’s Middle East & South Asia Regional Manager, said:
“I am very proud to be part of the MoU signing between OHSSAI and IPAF. Knowing the OHSSAI team and their unwavering dedication to health and safety, this partnership marks a significant step forward. Members will now benefit from IPAF’s strong support in helping keep people safe while operating MEWP equipment. A special thanks to Sanjay Karajgikar and Avdesh Malaiya for their continued focus, commitment, and invaluable contributions to the OHSSAI community.”
Thank you to the OHSSAI Foundation for partnering with us on this important initiative.
