There’s less than a week to go until the fifth edition of IPAF ELEVANDO, taking place on 6 November 2025 at Parque Fundidora in Monterrey. The event will bring together manufacturers, rental companies, distributors, and safety experts from across the region for a full day of learning, networking, and celebration.

IPAF is set to debut IPAF Elevation India 2025 on 14-15 November 2025, an inaugural two-day event themed around promoting safe working at height in India’s growing powered access sector.

An important Call for Evidence (CfE) has been announced by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to review the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) and the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations (PSSR).

The International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) is proud to take part in European Rental Week (ERW), an annual initiative that highlights the critical role of equipment rental across Europe.

The International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) is proud to support the Construction Industry Federation’s (CIF) Back to Basics safety campaign, which runs from 13–24 October and encourages everyone in the Irish construction sector to refocus on the fundamental principles of health and safety.

There are just a couple of weeks to go until IPAF is at the Music City Center in Nashville, USA, on 15 and 16 October 2025 for the Working at Height Conference and Awards. 

IPAF will be exhibiting at the Asia International Access Machinery Exhibition (APEX ASIA) from 28-31 October 28-31 2025 at Shanghai New International Expo Centre.

With two major events lined up for October, IPAF is continuing to drive safety awareness across the Middle East – starting in Doha and then Abu Dhabi.

It has come to the attention of IPAF that certain construction hoist manufacturers are marketing equipment, described as ‘transport systems’ or other similar terminology, that look like transport platforms, but with operating speeds and passenger capacities that exceed the limits set for a transport platform in the European standard EN 16719.  

The shortlist for the 2025 Working at Height Conference & Awards has been announced following the judges’ meeting held August 19.
