CPA to exhibit at EHS 2015
Strategic Forum Plant Safety Group ‘Outreach Meeting’ to be held at 2015 Executive Hire Show
The CPA (Construction Plant-hire Association) will be exhibiting at the Executive Hire Show for the ninth year in succession from 11–12 February 2015, at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry.
The Association will be advising visitors about its wide range of services for hire industry professionals and will also be promoting its ‘Stars of the Future’ award scheme for trainees in the plant-hire industry. Now in its third year, this is held in conjunction with a number of UK colleges offering plant mechanic apprentice training.
The CPA will also be holding a Strategic Forum Plant Safety Group ‘Outreach Meeting’ on the morning of Wednesday 11 February (10.30am to 13.00pm in the Jaguar Suite). Discussion topics will include: Operator Competence; Medical Fitness and the Public Health Responsibility Deal (a government initiative); Telehandlers, including new work on ‘Suspended Loads’; and the recently published guidance on ground conditions for construction plant.
New projects that the CPA is planning to undertake in 2015 will also be introduced, which could include inadvertent operation of controls on excavators and similar machines; and lifting using excavators. Key industry speakers will also be in attendance.
