IPAF and T-OSH Partner to Advance MEWP Safety Standards in Thailand

Thailand

The International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) is proud to announce a strategic collaboration with the Thailand Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (T-OSH) to advance safety standards for mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) across Thailand.

A core component of this collaboration focuses on making safety resources more accessible to the local workforce. With the expert assistance of T-OSH, IPAF has successfully translated 10 of its "Andy Access" safety posters into the Thai language.

These posters, featuring the popular Andy Access character, provide clear, concise, and engaging safety tips for MEWP operators and supervisors. By removing language barriers, both organisations aim to reduce onsite incidents and foster a deeper culture of safety.

"Safety is a universal priority, but its implementation must be local. By partnering with T-OSH to provide these resources in Thai, we are ensuring that vital safety information reaches the operators who need it most," says Raymond Wat, IPAF Southeast Asia Regional Manager.

The Thai versions of the Andy Access posters are available for immediate download via the IPAF website, allowing companies to enhance their safety briefings starting today.
