This webinar will examine the latest IPAF Global Safety Report, which is informed by data submitted to IPAF’s Accident Reporting Portal from 2012 to 2023. The webinar will examine trends and touch on the culture and approach to capturing and reporting data.
Data from IPAF’s Accident Reporting project shows falls from the platform are one of the leading causes of fatal incidents involving powered access equipment. Of the latest 117 incidents reported, falls from the platform resulted in 120 being people injured and 93 killed. Proper planning and ensuring a safe system of work are essential parts in the process to avoid falls from the platform.
MEWP overturn incidents often result in serious injuries or fatalities. Instability leading to overturn is commonly among the top four causes of lost time incidents (LTIs) annually, according to global data.
