The first IPAF-approved training centers in New Zealand have opened and are ready to deliver high quality training for operators of mobile elevating work platforms, also called aerial work platforms.
Accessman, the largest specialized rental company in the South Island of New Zealand, recognized the opportunity to offer IPAF training to meet the demand driven by the Christchurch rebuild, said Lena Harrington, Accessman’s general manager. Training is also being driven by the country’s evolving Health & Safety Act, which has recently undergone reform and is due for release in April 2016, she added.
