Introducing Power Towers and Mobile Access Platforms
August 19th, 2009Working far above the ground in a secure fashion isn’t only an obvious prerequisite to ensure the health and safety of your employees, it also leaves them to do their business properly without being pre-occupied about their safety.
Falls are the greatest single cause of fatal injuries and the second biggest cause of minor injuries at work in the British Isles. The Work at Height Regulations demands obligations on company owners, the self employed and anyone who is in charge of the work of other workers to allow for the safest means of access for the intended application.
One needs to choose the strongest tool for the task . If the task necessitates some concentration, the last thing you wish to worry about is tumbling off a ladder. This is why a Power tower is really the greatest tool for such delicate work at height.
Let’s look at one such tool. The Power tower is a continually evolving array of Access platforms, developed to render a range of secure, convenient and practical solutions when working at lower heights. No need to clamber up large steps, build scaffold towers or podiums. Just push the power tower into the correct location, step into the platform, and push a button.
Doing a job at height comes with secondary perils as well - to other workers below you. One must secure the working area below to ensure falling debris won’t crash on employees there; for instance those using floor saws below the workzone above.
