Is Your Equipment Compliant and Fit for Purpose?
The Importance of Ensuring Compliance in Specialised Industries
In industries like aviation, railways, and automotive repair, ensuring that maintenance equipment is compliant and fit for purpose is not only a legal requirement but also a key factor in operational efficiency and safety. Whether it’s the bodywork on trucks, aircraft maintenance stepladders, or railway access platforms, the right tools can make all the difference.
Common Challenges Across Sectors
- Aviation: Aircraft maintenance often involves precise tasks at height. Using bespoke access platforms tailored to tasks such as wing, tail or engine checks or fuselage maintenance ensures worker safety and minimises downtime.
2. Railway: Access platforms for train and rail maintenance must address both durability and flexibility, particularly when dealing with large and irregular surfaces and environments. Bespoke platforms are often required to provide a variety of working at height solutions such as pit access and crossing as well as platforms for general maintenance such as windcreen, carriage or roof access.
3. Trucking and Automotive: For trucks and municipal vehicles, access often requires utilising modular lightweight yet strong platforms that support varied maintenance tasks. For instance, a multi height access system to suit a variety of vehicle heights to access trailer beds, cabs and roof.
Why Compliance Matters
Non-compliance with safety standards such as the Work at Height Regulations (WAHR 2005) or PUWER 1998 can lead to legal penalties, operational delays, and heightened risks for workers. Regular inspection and recertification services ensure that equipment not only meets standards but also remains in optimal working condition.
Design
All working at height access equipment must be designed and manufactured in accordance with the relevant British Standards. Therefore, it is essential that the equipment you use on site complies with these standards. Our design team will ensure that your platform is designed in accordance with the relevant standards, providing you with a certificate of conformity upon completion. This ensures your complete peace of mind.
