With most houses across the UK having an extra storey or more, it’s not unusual for repairs and work needing to be carried out at height. Whether you’re redecorating your property’s façade or replacing shingles on the roof, there are a host of jobs that require you to work pretty high off of the ground.
With an average of 50 people dying in the UK each year since 2001 as a result of falls from height, no business can afford to take chances with their scaffolding equipment and the health and safety of their employees.
This means it’s absolutely essential that you choose the right podium steps for the work you’re carrying out, so as to ensure a workplace that meets the latest health and safety regulations.
According to the 2015 Safety Report of the National Access and Scaffolding Confederation (NASC), scaffolding accidents rose by 9 percent over the previous year, with 105 accidents reported in 2014 compared to 96 in 2013.
