Safe Access Starts with the Right Systems
Fixed access ladders, stairs, and walkways play a crucial role in providing safe, reliable access for staff and contractors- particularly during building planned maintenance. But access is only part of the equation. To truly safeguard your workforce, these systems must be complemented by robust collective protection measures.
Handrails, guardrails, balustrades, and barriers are more than just structural features—they're your first and most effective line of defence against falls. In line with the hierarchy of control, collective protection should always be prioritised. These passive safety solutions require no special training and protect everyone on site, automatically and consistently.
