First in a series of IPAF Rental+ workshops takes place
The International Powered Access Federation has held the first of a series of special workshops aimed at helping rental members in the UK make the transition to the minimum audit standard in line with IPAF Rental+ requirements, which has been mandatory since 1 September last year.
The workshop was held at Spanset’s offices in Cheshire, with 15 rental companies represented. Richard Whiting, IPAF’s UK Market General Manager, welcomed attendees, and there were presentations about what members can expect from the audit regime, discussions and feedback on the process so far, and information as to how members can use the new online portal to support their audit process.
Lynn Price, IPAF’s Audit and Quality Manager, gave additional background and led discussions about the process as it stands, while delegates gave suggestions as to how IPAF could better support members, and Martin Wraith, one of IPAF’s auditors in the UK, went through the audit questions and gave practical advice on what could be provided for each in order to demonstrate compliance.
Brian Parker, of IPAF member firm AFI-Uplift, commented: “The workshops are vital for anyone embarking or part-way through the audit process to achieve IPAF Rental+ membership. IPAF provides practical advice and insights into the audit process, to ensure members are able to complete a successful audit.”
The next two workshops take place in Newcastle Gateshead Marriott Hotel on 18 July 2018 and Holiday Inn London on 27 July 2018 – reserve your place now.
