  • Accidents involving Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs), Mast Climbing Work Platforms (MCWPs) and Construction Hoists (CHs) may not always make headlines – but every incident, whether minor or serious, holds crucial insight that can help prevent future harm. At IPAF, we believe transparent and consistent accident reporting is the cornerstone of improving safety in the powered access industry.

  • The countdown has officially begun for one of the powered access industry’s most anticipated events – the IPAF Summit & International Awards for Powered Access (IAPAs) 2026, taking place in Istanbul, Turkey, on 21-22 April 2026.

  • 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.
