IPAF will be exhibiting at the upcoming K-Con Safety Expo 2023, which will take place 13-15 September, on stand B-54. Roberto Kim, IPAF’s Korean Representative and Raymond Wat, South East Asia Regional Manager will be speaking to attendees about the new eLearning courses available in South East Asia. The MEWP Operator course eLearning is now available in Korean and Chinese as well as previous European languages.

Roberto Kim, comments “The launch of the MEWP Operator eLearning is a huge development within the region, and I hope that it will attract more powered access operators to complete the course. IPAF has two approved training centres in South Korea, Korea Rental Corporation and Korea Crane Association, in partnership with these companies we hope to see an increase in IPAF Training and awareness of IPAF’s safety guidance and materials.”

Raymond Wat adds “This year we have increased the number of resources we have available for powered access operators in Korean, this includes the series of Andy Access short safety videos, posters and Toolbox Talks, available on the IPAF website. I look forward to meeting new contacts and operators at the K-Con Safety Expo.”
