Compliance with these standards is essential for maintaining a safe work environment.

In addition, employers are responsible for providing thorough training and regular maintenance of ladders to ensure they remain in safe working condition. By adhering to these regulations, businesses can significantly reduce the risk of ladder-related incidents and promote a culture of safety.

Characteristics of a Safe Platform Ladder

Stable Platform

This enhanced stability is a significant advantage of platform ladders, ensuring safer working conditions.

Durable Construction 

High-quality platform ladders are constructed from heavy-duty materials such as aluminium and fibreglass. Aluminium is favoured for its lightweight and corrosion-resistant properties, making it easy to transport and long-lasting. Conversely, fibreglass offers non-conductive advantages, making it ideal for use in environments with potential electrical hazards.

In settings where electrical hazards are a concern, selecting a platform ladder made from non-conductive materials, like fibreglass, is essential. Our Branach Platform Steps are specifically designed to be electrically safe, highlighting the importance of using the right materials for the job.

How to Choose the Best Platform Ladder

Access Your Needs 

Ensure the platform ladder can reach the necessary height while being equipped with essential safety features such as guardrails, non-slip surfaces, and secure locking mechanisms. Consider whether you require a height-adjustable or elevating platform for added flexibility in various work scenarios.

Assess Portability & Storage 

For enhanced portability, opt for lightweight and foldable safety platforms that are easy to transport and store, particularly if you frequently move between job sites. Additionally, evaluate your storage requirements and the ease of movement on-site to find the right balance between convenience and functionality.

Height Requirements 

When selecting a platform ladder, consider the height you need to reach. Our Scaff Steps are designed to provide greater height compared to traditional platform ladders, making them suitable for various tasks.

Work Environment 

SafeSmart offers platform ladders tailored for diverse industries, including trades, construction, and utilities. Your choice should reflect the specific demands of your work environment to ensure safety and functionality.

Test & Inspect 

Before finalising your choice, conduct a thorough test and inspection of the platform to ensure it meets all your requirements and performs reliably. Check for any defects or issues that could impact safety and functionality, giving you confidence in your selection.
