Humans cannot fly, and reliable jetpacks have yet to be invented. This means that working at height requires a fair amount of equipment, which can be broadly split into two categories: access and safety. Read on to find out more.
When working at height, it is essential to use top-quality equipment that you know you can rely on. The first step to creating a safe and secure system for working at height is to use the best equipment - the second step is ensuring that you’re using it correctly!
There’s a reason that carrying out risk assessments and wearing PPE is a legal requirement in the UK – unfortunately, some learn the importance of these necessities the hard way.
Craven and Nicholas Engineering Ltd has been fined after one of its employees fell through a roof when working at height in Boston. The worker in question fell through a fragile roof and fell 6 metres, sustaining injuries to his head and arm.
Working at height is a pretty risky business, so it's essential to make sure that you always have the right equipment for the job. If you're in a line of work where you (and/or your employees) will be regularly working at height, it's a good idea to invest in some safety gear - but what if you're not going to need the equipment for more than a short period of time?
If working at height is just an occasional thing for you, it can be hard to justify purchasing a load of equipment that's only going to lie around and take up space once you've finished with it. If you fall into the category of those who only need working at height safety equipment on a temporary basis, you may be interested in finding out more about SafetyLiftinGear's working at height equipment hire services.

That was more than a hundred years ago. Since then, MSA Safety has become known around the world as a company that's dedicated to protecting the lives of workers.
