WHY IS TRAINING SO IMPORTANT?

The most recent figures from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) indicate that falls from a height remain the leading cause of fatal injuries to workers in Great Britain, with 50 fatalities reported in the latest statistics for 2023/24. This represents 36% of all worker fatalities in that period. While there was a decrease in the total number of work-related fatalities (138 down from 141), falls from height continue to be a major concern (HSE)

Reducing this unnecessary injury toll is a priority; as a user of Powered Access you will no doubt be aware of the legislation (LOLER, PUWER, HASWA and WAHR). For companies using any type of powered access equipment, it is essential that all Operators are fully trained in all aspects of safety. As it is the employers responsibility for maintaining safety standards that satisfy the criteria laid out in both EC and Heath and Safety at Work legislation.

Regulations

The health and safety at work act 1974 places a duty on the employer to provide an adequate level of training to allow employees to operate equipment safely and competently. All courses conducted by Access All Areas Platforms enable your company to comply with this requirement.

Qualifications

Courses are designed by accredited working at height specialists providing the operator with a permit valid for five years.
