Why use a platform?
 

Falls from height are the single biggest cause of workplace deaths. There were 46 fatalities and 3351 injuries suffered in 2005/6 alone.

 

The Working at Height regulations: 2005 (WAHR) have been introduced to prevent death and injuries. People controlling the work of others are duty-bound to use the most suitable equipment to prevent falls.

What's new in building

We have been using podiums for a few years now and this is the best designed Podium we have used. Unlike many other podiums, this unit cannot be moved once the operative is standing on the unit. Some other types have swivel castors which needed locking in place to make the unit secure. We have seen contractors on site leaving these wheels unlocked so they can pull themselves along to save them climbing off the unit and moving it! Then they wonder why the unit tips over....................!

Podium not quite big enough? Have a look at the recently launched Razor Deck; The worlds first self erecting tower!
