The IMPA Safety Campaign starts today


published on 1 October 2020 -  195 -

Today is the beginning of IMPA´s 2020 Safety Campaign survey, and we would like to encourage you all to participate!

The survey is designed to be very quickly completed and user-friendly. IMPA urges pilots to use it as often as they can because the strength of the safety campaigns is the weight of statistical evidence.

The objectives of this Safety Campaign are to follow up a request from IMO NAV55 to report back to IMO on pilots current experiences of ladders and to track the state of the boarding equipment.
