AFI’s Health,
Safety,
Environment
and Quality
(HSEQ)
director has
won the IPAF Safety
Champion award at this
year’s International Awards
for Powered Access (IAPA)
conference in Rome.

The judges chose Austin
for the work he has done
with IPAF and for his
commitment to promote
safety. The judges said they
were particularly impressed
that, “despite his own life’s
challenges, this year’s Safety
Champion is willing to
share his experience, effort
and expertise to create
solutions for the common
good and not for his own,
or his company’s gain”.
