Professional Work Platform Solutions
The Work Health and Safety (Managing Risk of Falls at Workplaces Code of Practice) Approval 2020 sets out a list of measures that should be taken to mitigate risks and falls when working at heights. This includes employing properly erected scaffolds or elevated work platforms that provide a stable and level surface capable of supporting workers, materials, and other loads. Additionally, ensuring that stairs are solidly constructed with fixed handrails, and that work surfaces and slopes are even and accessible, contributes to overall safety. It is also essential to maintain safe entry and exit points to minimise the risk of accidents and ensure a secure working environment. SafeSmart Access focuses on delivering a wide array of safety work platforms aimed at improving safety and efficiency for tasks performed at elevated heights. We provide a comprehensive range of platforms designed for different industries and applications, such as aviation, construction, mining, transportation, and industrial manufacturing.

How to Choose the Best Work Platform?
Access your Needs
Ensure the platform can reach the necessary height and is equipped with safety features like guardrails, non-slip surfaces, and secure locking mechanisms. Consider whether you need a height-adjustable or elevating platform for flexibility.
Consider Load Capacity
Another crucial factor is the platform’s weight capacity. Ensure you know the maximum weight the platform can support, including the combined weight of workers, tools, materials, and any additional personnel. Choosing a platform with a suitable weight capacity is essential to avoid exceeding limits and ensuring safety.
Assess Portability & Storage
For portability, choose lightweight and foldable safety platforms that are easy to transport and store, especially if you frequently move between job sites. Additionally, evaluate storage requirements and ease of movement on site to balance convenience with functionality.
Test & Inspect
Before finalising your choice, thoroughly test and inspect the platform to ensure it meets all your requirements and performs reliably. Check for any defects or issues that could affect safety and functionality.
