Working far above the ground securely is not only an obvious requirement to guarantee the well-being of your workers, it allows them to do their chore well without trouble.

Height falls are the biggest single cause of deaths and the second greatest cause of injuries in the workplace in Britain. There is a regulation called “The Work at Height Regulations” - this demands obligations on employers, the self employed and anyone that controls the work of others to allow for the safest means of access for the intended application.

You need to select the strongest tool for the job . If the task takes some concentration, the last thing you want to care about is tumbling off a ladder. This is why something like a Power tower is genuinely the best choice for such delicate tasks at height.

Let’s look at one such tool. The Power tower is a continually growing range of push into position, mobile access platforms, built to supply a variety of safe, convenient and practical solutions when doing a chore at height. No need to climb large steps, podiums or put up scaffold towers. Just push into the correct location, walk on to the platform, press a button.

Doing a job at height comes with secondary dangers too - to others below you. You must secure the area below to ensure loose debris won’t land on employees there; for instance those using floor saws directly below the workzone above them.
