More than 20 directors and
managers participated in IPAF
training courses that were
conducted at the JLGUK facility
inMiddleton and at the JLG
manufacturing facility in Belgium.
Office-basedmanagers, who do
not normally operate equipment in
the course of their jobs, took the
opportunity to better understand
the importance of operating
equipment safely, which is core to
the access business.
Karel Huijser, general manager
and vice-president, JLG EMEA
BV, said: “It is important to be
knowledgeable about operating
access equipment safely. We
have had the entire leadership
