⚠️ Today is World Day for Safety and Health at Work ⚠️
At Riwal, we provide our customers with the highest level of safety with each rental or sale. Our approach to safety is pro-active: whenever and wherever we see a possibility to improve safety or to eliminate potentially unsafe conduct, we act pro-actively to create the safest possible environment for our staff and our customers.
At the beginning of this month, we became a Sustaining Member of the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) and are the first rental and training company to join the special membership category. Riwal joins Alimak, AON, APEX and Haulotte as IPAF Sustaining Members.
Sustaining Member is a category of IPAF membership designed to recognise and sustain IPAF’s strategic initiatives and overall contribution to improving safety and productivity in powered access worldwide.

Happy International Women's Day! We celebrate IWD annually to remind ourselves how far we have come in achieving gender equality and highlight areas where the journey continues. There has always been a stigma around women working in the construction/powered access industry, at Riwal 'Diversity and Equality' is our core value, with this at the forefront - we celebrate women. 38% of our workforce are ambitious women, including two female members of our SLT. Our team is only growing stronger and we will continue to uplift the women of Riwal UK on this journey.
