Working in High Locations and Risk Management
Working in high locations in a secure fashion is not just a self-explanatory requirement to ensure the well-being of your workers, it also lets them do their job well without being pre-occupied about their safety.
Height falls are the greatest single cause of fatal injuries and the second biggest cause of injuries at work in the British Isles. The Work at Height Regulations demands duties on employers, those who work for themselves and anyone that controls the work of others to allow the safest means of working far off the ground.
You need to choose the strongest tool for the job . If the task needs some concentration, you don’t need the bother of thinking you might fall. Something like a Power tower is truly the greatest instrument for such delicate jobs at height.
The Power tower is a continually developing range of push into position, Mobile access platforms, designed to allow for a choice of sound, handy and pragmatic solutions when working at lower heights. No need to clamber up large steps, put up scaffold towers or podiums. Just push the power tower into position, walk on to the platform, press a button.
Doing work far above the ground brings peripheral dangers as well - to others on the ground below you. You must make safe the area below to verify falling debris won’t crash on workers below; e.g. those working on floor saws below the work area above them.
