AIF to examine latest trends
Working at height continues to be a key issue and at Expo 2012 the Access Industry Forum (AIF) will examine the latest trends, developments and thinking in three distinct areas: the Knowledge Base, Live Zone and Information Centre with over 50 presentations, demonstrations and discussions – focusing on all the topics relating to work at height.
Of particular interest to the work at height sector is Professor Löfstedt’s recommendation to review the existing Work at Height Regulations by 2013.
