Ladders, Hop Ups & Platforms

A safe step is a device or piece of equipment used to provide a stable, secure platform or surface for workers at heights to stand on. A ladder is a portable, vertical or inclined structure made up of two or more parallel side rails connected by rungs that is used to climb up or down to a higher or lower level. Ladders are used for a variety of tasks, including reaching high places, gaining access to roofs, and carrying out maintenance or construction work. Ladders come in a variety of shapes and sizes, including step ladders, extension ladders, and multi-purpose ladders. A work platform is a stable, elevated surface used to provide people with a safe and convenient place to stand or work at heights. Work platforms are available in a variety of materials, including metal, wood, and plastic, and in a variety of sizes and styles to meet a variety of needs and applications. Scaffolds, aerial lifts, and elevated platforms are examples of common work platforms. Hop-Ups, ladders, and work platforms can be used in construction, maintenance, manufacturing, and other industries to gain access to difficult-to-reach areas or to perform tasks at a higher level. To reduce the risk of falls and accidents, it is critical to use these products safely and to follow all safety guidelines when working at heights.
