Free safety seminars

Powered access hire specialist AFIUplift
is holding free safety seminars
on the safe, efficient use of mobile
elevating work platforms (MEWPs).

Seminars will take place on 11 May
at the Adren Hotel in Solihull; on 18
May at the Waltham Abbey Marriott
Hotel; and on 25 May at the
Bredbury Hall Hotel, Stockport.

AFI has launched the seminars
just weeks after its chairman, David
Shipman, addressed the International
Powered Access Federation (IPAF)
summit in London and called for the
industry to do more to promote the
safety benefits of powered access.

Speakers will include Joy Jones,
principal construction inspector of
the HSE, and IPAF managing
director Tim Whiteman.

Subjects covered include working
at height legislation, the advantages
of MEWPs, management
responsibilities, powered access
training and best practice. There will
also be demonstrations of booms
and scissor lifts.

Anyone wanting to book a free
place on these morning seminars
should email their details and
preferred venue to: register@afiuplift.

be eligible to attend a future AFI
MEWPs for Managers course – free
of charge.
