Astounding Words

Doing a job at height securely isn’t just an obvious requirement to ensure the safety of your employees, it leaves them to do their job properly without being pre-occupied about their safety.

Falls are the greatest cause of deaths and the second biggest cause of minor injuries at work in the British Isles. The Work at Height Regulations demands duties on employers, those who work for themselves and in fact anybody who is in charge of the work of other workers to allow for the least hazardous means of access for the intended application.

You need to select the best tool for the job . If the task needs some concentration, the last thing you wish to care about is slipping off a ladder. Something like a Power tower is really the best instrument for such delicate jobs far off the ground.

Let’s look at one such tool. The Power tower is a continually growing array of Mobile access platforms, developed to render a variety of safe, handy and practical solutions when working at lower heights. No more climbing large platform steps, podiums or build scaffold towers. Simply push into the correct location, walk on to the platform, press a button.

Doing work far above the ground comes with peripheral risks too - to others below you. One should make safe the working area below to verify loose debris won’t land on workers below; for instance those working on Floor saws below the work area above.
