Don’t Take Risks at Height

Doing work far above the ground in a secure fashion is not only an obvious necessity to determine the safety of your employees, it also allows them to do their business properly without worry.

Falls are the biggest single cause of fatal injuries and the second biggest cause of injuries in the workplace in the British Isles. There is a regulation called “The Work at Height Regulations” - this demands responsibilities on employers, the self employed and anyone that controls the work of others to provide the soundest means of working at height.

One must choose the best tool for the job . If the job demands some concentration, the last thing you wish to worry about is falling off a ladder. This is why something like a Power tower is really the best choice for such intensive tasks at height.

The Power tower is a continually evolving range of mobile access platforms, fashioned to render a selection of sound, convenient and pragmatic solutions when doing a chore at height. No more clambering up large platform steps, set up scaffold towers or podiums. Just push into position, walk on to the platform, press a button.

Working in high locations brings peripheral perils too - to others below you. One needs to secure the working area below to ensure falling debris won’t crash on employees there; for example those using floor saws below the work area above them.
