Before joining Riwal, Norty Turner worked for 17 years in operational and sales roles culminating as a vice-president for one of the largest equipment rental companies in the US. This allows him to offer a unique perspective of the best lessons to take from the world’s largest access rental markets.

The full-day IPAF Asia Conference will feature international industry speakers sharing their expertise on how mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) can be used to improve safety and productivity, including case studies from manufacturers, rental companies and users.

Confirmed speakers include Marina Torres, sales manager with Italian manufacturer Bravi Platforms, and Geoffrey Lee, general manager of Hong Kong-based Modern (International) Access & Scaffolding Ltd.

The conference is aimed at contractors who wish to use MEWPs safely and effectively, rental companies planning to operate in new markets, and those looking to start a MEWP business. Safety authorities in the region are expected to attend, including officers from China’s Cosha, Malaysia’s Department of Occupational Safety & Health, Singapore’s Ministry of Manpower, and Building & Construction Authority.
