The International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) has launched its global safety campaign for 2025: Stop overturns – safety starts on the ground!
This year’s campaign focuses on the serious and often fatal consequences of mobile elevating work platform (MEWP) overturns. Reflecting on the campaign’s release, IPAF’s head of safety & technical, Brian Parker, explained: “MEWP overturns continue to be a major cause of serious injuries and fatalities in our industry. With the launch of IPAF’s 2025 Global Safety Campaign – Stop Overturns: Safety Starts on the Ground! – we are reinforcing a crucial message: ground conditions matter.
By understanding the risks and implementing proper safety measures, we can prevent overturns, protect lives, and create safer work environments worldwide. Let’s work together to make a significant impact and aim for a measurable decrease in MEWP overturns globally.”
