MEWPs (mobile elevated working platforms), also known as powered access platforms, are essential tools for working at height, commonly used in industries like construction, cleaning and maintenance. They provide a secure, elevated working platform that is more mobile and stable than traditional ladders or scaffolding.

When you work at height, “load” can mean two very different things. It might be the weight you’re lifting into position (plant, steelwork, truss, pallets). Or it might be the forces your safety system must withstand if something goes wrong. More...

While load restraint may seem simple enough – after all, all you need to do is keep your loads secure while transporting them from A to B - we still see far too many instances of half-hearted load restraint, which all too often results in a scene like this:
Hard hats, also known as safety helmets, are more than just important, they are crucial for protecting workers from severe head injuries and even death while working on site. At construction sites, head injuries can occur in a range of ways, but by wearing the right kind of safety helmet, workers can prevent or reduce the severity of these injuries. Keep reading this blog for more reasons why hard hats are important.
A hydraulic jack is a mechanical device that lifts heavy loads by using a small force applied to hydraulic fluid to generate a much larger lifting force. They work by pumping fluid from a reservoir into a cylinder, this builds pressure that pushes the piston up, in turn raising the heavy object.
According to the Work at Height Regulations 2005, all work at height activities should be properly planned, appropriately supervised and carried out safely to avoid accidents and injuries.
