Established in 1983, IPAF is a not-for-profit members&#8217; organization that represents the interests of manufacturers, distributors, users, and rental and training companies. IPAF plays a key role in promoting many of the design, safety and testing procedures that are now established in the powered access industry. It is a key stakeholder in influencing legislation and standards, through its safety initiatives. IPAF has also developed industry leading training and best practices for aerial work platforms and mast climbers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why join IPAF?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>SAFETY \u2013 Safety is a core value at AGF Access, and I am personally committed to doing what I can to ensure the safe operation of our equipment.
