How to prevent falls from height is a serious issue within the construction industry. Falls from height remain one of the leading causes of workplace fatalities, confirmed by the UK Health and Safety Executive’s recent figures.

Falls from height can occur on site due to a range of different issues on site. From problems with scaffolding to unguarded stairwell openings, the workplace can potentially be a dangerous place. Safer access within buildings under construction can be provided to help prevent accidents on site. Surestairs, the temporary staircase company, provide a trusted UK based temporary staircase hire service. A temporary staircase provides site workers with safe, quick, easy access between levels. A Surestairs temporary staircase can be installed by a solo operative in just a couple of minutes. Whilst the 12 step temporary staircase weighs only 24kg, it has a 250kg safe working load. In addition to using temporary staircases on site for access, edge protectors are also available for hire with the temporary staircases. Our edge protection systems provide strong, robust protection around open stairwells and for unguarded edges on site.

If you’re responsible for safe working on site and wonder how to prevent falls from height, contact Surestairs about our range of temporary staircases for both hire and sales. Keep safe on site with Surestairs.
