Safe Working At Height

Safe Working At Height

Once upon a time, safe working at height involved having someone footing your ladder for you, but times have changed.

It was not uncommon for workplace accidents due to a lack of safe working practices. Access platforms have revolutionised working at height, providing a stable working platform, flexible enough to allow access to any out of reach area.

From stock picking in warehouses, through to construction and maintenance of tall structures for decorators, electricians and plumbers, access platforms including; scissor lifts, cherry pickers, boom lifts, as well as personnel and materials hoists, there is a practical access solution for any application.

Keeping staff safe at work is a critical component of running a successful business. Motorised access platforms, powered by diesel, battery or mains electricity can be quickly and easily moved and adjusted for different working heights.

The alternative is to construct scaffolding or a scaffold tower, which is more maneuverable than traditional scaffolding, but requires precautions to maintain stability and prevent it from falling over.

Access platforms are designed to be stable at height, providing a safe and secure solution for reaching those hard to reach places.

As long as access platforms are used  within their operating limits, platforms are safe on a variety of surfaces, even rough ground as long as you remain within their operational limits.

Training for personnel operating access platforms is an important part of the process, providing knowledge and safety information so all your staff and employees are safe in the workplace.

Cherry pickers and scissor lifts are the most commonly used access platforms. Scissor lifts provide a stable platform ideal for working at height where you don’t have any obstacles in the way.

Cherry pickers offer more flexibility as you can position the basket above obstacles that would otherwise prevent easy access. Spanning gaps in access are easy with cherry pickers (boom lifts).

Mobile Phones In The Car

It is estimated that this year, 2016, the number of smart phones in the UK will be around 42 million units. The number of mobile phones as a whole, collectively over the years, is in untold millions.

The number of people in the UK with driving licenses is around 35 million. Interesting statistics could be drawn from the number of calls, texts, emails, likes, tweets or such, in a twenty-four hour period, divided by the number of driver hours in the same period, and subtract the number of hands-free units.

An impossible task, probably, but what it highlights in a way, is the likely hood of someone using a phone whilst driving is not only positive, but proportional to the number of drivers. That is to say, how many people are, right now, driving and using a mobile device, answer, plenty.

The deterrent for doing so, up until now has been reckoned to be sufficient, but in the wake of several Continue reading “Mobile Phones In The Car”
