Steps to take after purchasing an access platform
If you have bought a custom access platform (http://www.alisafe.com.au/), you should know
that you are only done with the easy part of this task. The next thing that you want to do is
to train your employees how to use the platform and the gear necessary in order to make
using the platform a safe and secure endeavor.
Important investments
The access industry is highly regulated, and making use of your new custom access platform
highly depends on the safety measures you take. Apart from the training your staff has to
complete in order to get the accreditation needed to use these platforms, you also have to
invest in safety gear and equipment. This involves buying the right clothing that will enable
the workers to stay safe while being lifted by the scissors lift at a higher height. Also, the
workers need visibility vests and helmets that will protect them from falling debris from the
working environment. Safety harnesses are also quite important since they will keep one
safe in the unfortunate event of a slip and fall.
You can see that custom access platforms involve more than just purchasing them. If you
want your employees to be safe and if you want to protect yourself from work accident
lawsuits, there are some protection measures that you have to take. Once you have
everything in place, using these platforms will be safe and secure. Whatever you do, never
let your employees use the platform without the right gear and equipment and without
prior training.
