Improving Safety

Falls from height remain a prime cause of deaths in the workplace and every system that improves safe working at height is to be welcomed.

Using guard rails on all open sides and wearing harnesses kept in good condition are important safety practices but probably the biggest contributor to improved safety has been the advent of work platforms to reach higher levels. These can be in the form of hydraulic access platforms such as scissor lifts and boom lifts, or non-powered structures that are assembled on site to provide quick, safe access to rooflines.

A variable height platform used with ladders and walkways has big time advantages over traditional scaffolding and can be moved around a site with ease.
