IPAF at Bauma 2025: Showcasing Safety in Powered Access

Bauma 2025

IPAF is excited to announce its participation in Bauma 2025, the world’s leading trade fair for construction and machinery, held every three years in Munich, Germany. 

From 7 – 13 April 2025, visitors can find IPAF at stand 350 in hall C4, where the team will be on hand to discuss powered access safety, training and industry developments. 

What to Expect at the IPAF Stand 

  • Showcasing Safety: A TV display will highlight IPAF’s latest global safety campaign, Stop Overturns – Safety Starts on the Ground! with accompanying takeaway guidance including Toolbox Talks and Andy Access safety materials on the stand.
  • Interactive Quiz & Gift: Visitors can take part in a short interactive safety quiz, centred around the new safety campaign, which will be available in all core IPAF languages. Those who complete the quiz will receive a limited-edition IPAF beanie hat (whilst stocks last).
  • Meet the Team: IPAF’s international experts will be available to discuss training, membership benefits and the latest IPAF initiatives. 

Brian Parker, IPAF’s Head of Safety & Technical, said: "MEWP overturns continue to be a major cause of serious injuries and fatalities in our industry. With the launch of IPAF’s 2025 Global Safety Campaign – Stop Overturns: Safety Starts on the Ground! – we are reinforcing a crucial message: ground conditions matter. By understanding the risks and implementing proper safety measures, we can prevent overturns, protect lives, and create safer work environments worldwide. Let’s work together to make a measurable impact and aim for a measurable decrease in MEWP overturns globally." 

Brian will also be hosting the IPAF Manufacturers’ Technical Committee meeting at the event, and the IPAF team is looking forward to visiting members and engaging with delegates throughout the show. 

Peter Douglas, CEO and Managing Director of IPAF, said: “Bauma is a key event in the construction and powered access calendar, bringing together industry leaders from around the world. IPAF is once again looking forward to engaging with members, manufacturers and operators to discuss the latest developments in MEWP safety, training and innovation. We invite all attendees to visit our stand, take part in our safety quiz and learn more about how IPAF is working to improve safety across the industry.” 

Bauma 2025 promises to be an exciting opportunity to connect, learn and advance safety in powered access. We look forward to seeing you there!
