IPAF Applauds Kingfisher Safety Initiative

IPAF-approved training centre Kingfisher Access is doing its bit to promote the Clunk Click campaign in an innovative way. Since January, everyone attending a Kingfisher IPAF Operator or IPAF Harness course will receive their own harness and lanyard as part of the MEWP Operator's Safety Kit now supplied as standard on these courses.

“This way we know that all of our customers have the correct type and quality of harness/lanyard to give them high levels of protection against being ejected vertically from boom type MEWPs,” said George Reid, managing director of Kingfisher.

“Kingfisher is to be applauded for this initiative,” said IPAF managing director Tim Whiteman. “Any effort to make our industry safer is welcome.”
