Powered Access is the safest and most efficient way of working at height. Whether a small domestic job like clearing your guttering. Or, large site work, where you’ll need to work at up to 41m in the air. Smiths Hire has the right equipment to help you get the job done.
Construction site operators know only too well that they have a legal obligation to protect the health and safety of their staff. But do you know what construction on-site training is available and what products can support health and safety on construction sites? When you consider that 60,000 people die on construction sites every year and that there are 475 work-related accidents every minute can you afford not to invest in construction safety training?
Working at height is no laughing matter. It can be easy to find yourself in a false sense of security when working at height in tight spaces, however, serious injuries can still occur. One way in which you aid safety when working at height in tight spaces is making sure that you choose the right equipment.
