The Deskglider – Safe, Convenient and Versatile

Falls from height are one of the biggest causes of fatalities and major injuries in the workplace, most notably falls from ladders.
To help prevent death and injury caused by falls from height, the Work At Height regulations were introduced in 2005.
These regulations advise that any work at height must be planned, supervised and carried out by competent people using the correct equipment for the job.

Ladders and scaffolding may have once been the go-to options for gaining access at height but they can be dangerous if not set up correctly. They can also take up a lot of space, take time to set up and cause disruption to those working in the same area.

The Deskglider is an excellent alternative for providing easy height access in office and call centre environments.
