While the use of aerial work platforms have ultimately eased the jobs of construction workers, providing fast access to typically unreachable places, they can also be risky when used improperly. To increase safe AWP use across the industry, Walls & Ceilingswill help promote with Canadian manufacturer Skyjack to launch the PAL Pledge, a campaign promoting the adoption of recognized training and safe use of AWPs.
“We are excited to team up with W&Cand IPAF to incentivize operators to obtain safety training through the PAL Pledge,” says Malcom Early, vice president of marketing for Skyjack. “Operator safety is an important issue for Skyjack—we believe with proper training and education, operators can minimize the risks and use AWPs safely and efficiently.”
