Doing work far above the ground in a secure fashion isn’t only an obvious necessity to ensure the well-being of your workers, it lets them do their job properly without headaches.

Falling from height is the greatest single cause of fatal injuries and the second biggest cause of minor injuries in the workplace in the United Kingdom. There is a regulation called “The Work at Height Regulations” – this demands duties on company owners, those who work for themselves and anyone who is in charge of the work of other workers to allow for the least hazardous method of access for the intended application.

One must select the strongest tool for the job . If the task takes some concentration, the last thing you wish to worry about is falling off a ladder. This is why something like a Power tower is really the greatest instrument for such delicate jobs far off the ground.

Let’s look at one such tool. The Power tower is a perpetually evolving range of push into position, access platforms, developed to provide a variety of safe, convenient and pragmatic solutions when working at lower heights. No need to clamber up large steps, set up scaffold towers or podiums. Simply push the power tower into the correct location, step into the platform, press a button.

Working at height comes with other perils too – to others on the ground below. You should secure the area below to ensure falling debris won’t land on employees below; for example those using floor saws directly below the work area above.
