The Safety Platforms construction site pedestrian access ramp can help to reduce accidents on site.
Amongst the most common types of accidents on UK construction sites are trips and slips with over 1000 per year resulting in a serious injury such as a fracture. Slippy floors, muddy walk ways and height differentials all contribute to the potential for injury. Injuries on site are problematic not just for the injured party but cause delays and increased costs.
HSE guidance is to reduce potential hazards where possible. Using the Safety Platforms access ramp eliminates the height difference from ground level to doorway during construction works. Using an anti-slip ramp removes the potential tripping hazard. The ramp surface is made from a robust steel mesh which has an anti-slip finish, reducing the potential for slips when entering a building under construction. In addition, the mesh surface allows water and debris to fall through the mesh, again reducing the slipping potential and minimising the dirt and water brought into the new property under construction. The gradual incline over the length of the ramp makes walking easy and transportation of materials with a wheelbarrow easier and safer.
For safer and easier access on site contact Safety Platforms for their construction site pedestrian access ramp and help to prevent slips and trips on site.
