Riwal takes MEWPS for Managers

Several members of Riwal's management team have successfully completed IPAF's MEWPs for Managers course.

This is the first time that IPAF’s MEWPs for Managers has been conducted in continental Europe. Senior managers, including Riwal CEO Norty Turner, attended the course which was conducted by IPAF certified instructors Robin Monster from Riwal and Jur Kamsteeg, IPAF Benelux business development manager.

The course was held as part of Riwal’s Strategy Meeting in mid-February in the Netherlands, and the entire management team successfully attained their certification.

Norty Turner said, “At Riwal the reason that we exist is to achieve the highest levels of safety, productivity and service through our people. Our business is founded upon safety, and it is an absolutely critical element in everything we do. IPAF’s MEWPs for Managers course is an excellent educational tool, and Riwal is committed to supporting and promoting the course to its customers.”

“We are delighted that a forward-looking company such as Riwal is getting behind IPAF’s MEWPs for Managers course and using this training to promote safety and best practice in our industry,” said IPAF CEO Tim Whiteman.

IPAF’s MEWPs for Managers course is available from approved training centres worldwide in English, German, French, Italian, Dutch, Spanish and Portuguese. The one-day course is not about operating equipment, but about planning, supervising and effectively managing the use of MEWPs on site. It ends with a written test that candidates must pass in order to obtain a certificate.
