Did you know that IPAF collects and analyses data concerning accidents and near-miss incidents involving powered access equipment via www.ipafaccidentreporting.org? With the ePAL app, all operators can access the portal directly via the ‘More’ section and anonymously report any incident they are involved in or witness. IPAF uses this data to produce its annual safety report, to improve and update training, tailor safety messages and develop free technical guidance to help keep everyone safe when using powered access. Remember, reporting today, can help prevent injuries and deaths in future.
You can help save lives by reporting accidents and near-misses.
While powered access remains one of the safest methods for performing temporary work at height, incidents involving mechanical or technical failures can still lead to serious injuries and fatalities. IPAF emphasises that many of these incidents are preventable through consistent inspection routines, proper maintenance, and adherence to safety procedures.
