AIF safety solution
The nine organisations comprising the Access Industry Forum (AIF) have joined forces to publish a 12-page brochure encouraging the safe and proper use of work at height equipment.
Containing a foreword by Geoffrey Podger, Chief Executive of the Heath and Safety Executive (HSE), and Brian Law, Chief Executive of the Association for Project Safety (APS), the brochure’s message is clear: ‘Work safely and competently at height using appropriate equipment with personnel professionally trained to industry - recognised standards’.
The brochure contains a profile of all nine organisations. These are ‘standards driven’ trade associations and federations committed to advancing safety, best practice and competency when working at height - irrespective of equipment type or safety solution employed.
A copy of the free brochure is available from the Forum’s website
