As an industry thought leader in powered access safety, Nationwide Platforms is delighted to host its Working at Height Best Practice Forum at The Belfry Hotel & Resort, Warwickshire, on 20th October 2016.
Now in its eighth year, the forum has established itself as the leading safety event within the powered access industry, with more than 250 guests attending last year’s event. Key decision makers from a number of sectors are able to share their experiences and thoughts with safety specialists to help advance the safe operation of powered access, shape best practice and improve standards.
Following the successful format of previous forums, the event will continue its tradition of attracting leading industry experts to provide keynote presentations. In the past, this has included key representatives from clients, such as Crossrail, major contractors and manufacturers as well as industry and health and safety bodies such as the HSE, IPAF, and the Construction Plant-hire Association. Thought-provoking discussions and interactive sessions also ensure a collaborative and proactive approach is taken to address the industry’s key issues, with this year’s ‘hot topics’ including emergency rescue, onsite MEWP management and risk assessment when working at height.
The event also allows delegates the chance to experience Nationwide Platforms’ latest fleet additions as well as gain in-depth detail on a number of new innovations it is looking to introduce to the market.
Jeremy Fish, Nationwide Platforms Managing Director, said: “Last year’s Working at Height Best Practice Event was by far the biggest and most successful to date. I was incredibly impressed by the number of delegates in attendance as well as the high levels of interaction and participation. There is clearly an appetite for improvements in powered access health and safety, and perhaps the most encouraging aspect of the event, is the ability to affect change within the industry.”
“Over the years, delegates have made strong commitments towards improving health and safety associated with powered access, with a number of issues – such as operator entrapment, unauthorised use of MEWPs, and the secure handling of materials – being addressed at the events. This year we are very much looking to build on the success of previous events as we continue to improve the industry for the better. To achieve this we need your help, your participation, your involvement, because together we can make a real difference.”
“I would also welcome companies and individuals to join our Working at Height Best Practice Forum on LinkedIn, where currently 780 members share, raise and discuss key working at height issues in an open and impartial environment, throughout the year and leading up to the event.”
