Last, but by no means least, the Knowledge Base will feature an update on the quest started last year to eradicate working at height accidents for ever. ‘On the Trail of the Holy Grail’ is scheduled for midday on Day 3. Joining the Forum will be IOSH, IIRSM and the British Safety Council.
New for 2012 is a half-hour ‘Ask the Experts’ session sponsored by the Forum.
Another new feature for 2012 will be the AIF Live Zone. Dedicated entirely to AIF member organisations, it will play host to wall-to-wall presentations and demonstrations - including the screening of live action videos - highlighting best practice when using anything from ladders and towers to scaffolding and mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs).
In the Information Centre the Forum will showcase its seven new Toolbox Talks. Offering pragmatic advice and guidance, they can be viewed free online on the Forum’s website
www.accessindustryforum.org.uk
With a running time of approximately 10 minutes, and complete with a short online questionnaire to assess understanding, the free videos have been described as an innovative way of getting key messages and guidance
about how to work at height safely over to a wider audience.
The new videos, which now number 16 in total on the Forum’s website, include:
• NASC: Explaining scaffold handover certificates and scaffold inspections;
• PASMA: Fall protection in mobile access towers;
• Ladder Association: Using stepladders and step stools;
• IPAF: The dangers of not using spreader pads with outriggers.
Established in 2004, the Forum currently has eleven member organisations:
Association of Technical Lightning & Access Specialists (ATLAS); British Safety Industry
WORKING AT HEIGHT 70 | TOMORROW’S CLEANING | The future of our cleaning industry
