IPAF reaches major member milestone

The International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) has reached 2,000 members across the globe.


IPAF’s membership now spans 83 countries, bringing together manufacturers, rental companies, contractors, and training providers. The growth underscores increasing industry recognition of the importance of safety standards, operator training, and best practices in powered access.

“Reaching 2,000 members is a proud moment for IPAF. Over recent years, we have expanded our training programmes, digital services, and safety campaigns, supporting members in reducing workplace incidents and improving operational efficiency. As part of our commitment to a truly global community, we are also increasing the availability of our materials in more languages, ensuring we can reach and support members wherever they are in the world,” says Peter Douglas, CEO and managing director of IPAF. “I’d like to thank each and every member for being a part of the IPAF family and contributing to safer work at height.”

Looking ahead, IPAF will continue to expand its global reach, enhance member services, and drive innovation in safety and training. The organization is also driving towards full digital adoption of the Powered Access License (PAL) Card through the ePAL app, while continuing to work with its members to raise standards and promote and enable the safe and effective use of powered access worldwide. 

Central to this effort is maintaining momentum behind its Share Your Story campaign, which recognizes storytelling as a powerful tool for improving safety – encouraging members to report incidents and near misses, share experiences as learning opportunities, and reinforce the principle that safety is everyone’s responsibility.
