One event the Australian access industry has really come to look forward to is the Genie Customer Appreciation night, held on the eve of the annual HRIA convention.

Australia’s leading brand of access equipment, Genie, has today appointed service support leader, Access Service Australia (ASA), as the exclusive distributor of its aluminum lifting products in Western Australia and New South Wales.

According to the National Safety Manager of Genie Australia, Chris Bond, the Genie LTI record in 2010 was pretty ordinary. “To their eternal credit,” Bond said, “Genie management committed to address the LTI performance logged in 2010. What followed was a period of rigorous analysis to determine the causes for the workplace injuries.”
