From Floor Saws to Height Safety
Labouring in high places in a secure fashion isn’t only an obvious necessity to guarantee the well-being of your employees, it also leaves them to do their task well without headaches.
Falls from height are the biggest single cause of deaths and the second biggest cause of injuries in the workplace in Britain. There is a regulation called “The Work at Height Regulations” – this demands obligations on company owners, those who work for themselves and in fact anybody who is in charge of the work of other workers to render the securest means of working at height.
One needs to select the best tool for the job at hand. If the task takes some concentration, you don’t need the hassle of thinking you might fall. Something like a Power tower is really the greatest instrument for such delicate work at height.
Let’s look at one such tool. The Power tower is a continually developing array of Mobile access platforms, designed to supply a variety of secure, handy and practical solutions when doing a chore at height. No need to climb large steps, build scaffold towers or podiums. Simply push the power tower into position, walk on to the platform, press a button.
Working at height comes with peripheral dangers as well – to other workers below. You must make safe the working area on the ground directly below to verify falling debris won’t fall on workers there; e.g. those using Floor saws below the work area above.
