Height Safety, Power Towers and Mobile Access Platforms
Working in high locations securely is not only an obvious demand to ensure the health and safety of your employees, it allows them to do their chore well without worry.
Falling from height is the greatest single cause of deaths and the second greatest cause of minor injuries in the workplace in the UK. There is a regulation called “The Work at Height Regulations” – this demands responsibilities on company owners, 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 working far off the ground.
You must select the strongest tool for the task at hand. If the task takes some concentration, the last thing you wish to worry about is slipping off a ladder. This is why something like a Power tower is truly the greatest instrument for such intensive tasks at height.
Let’s look at one such tool. The Power tower is a continually evolving range of Mobile access platforms, fashioned to allow a wide range of sound, handy and practical solutions when doing a job at height. No more clambering up large platform steps, build scaffold towers or podiums. Simply push into the correct location, step into the platform, and push a button.
Doing a job at height brings secondary risks too – to other workers below. You should secure the area on the ground directly below to verify loose debris won’t crash on workers below; e.g. those working on Floor saws below the work area above them.
