High stakes: Ensuring safe access for working at height

The importance of safe ladder access when working at height cannot be understated. Ladder usage and working at heights is a heavily regulated domain with a focus on two areas: safe equipment and safe use.

While it is the responsibility of individual workers to ensure they use equipment strictly in the safest way possible, the reality is that this does not always occur. This means that there is even greater importance on specifying the highest quality fixed and pull down ladder solutions to promote worker safety.

Download this whitepaper for an overview of the safety features of access ladder solutions and fall arrest systems and how they can enable specifiers to create safer conditions for those working at height.
