Safety difference between stepladders and podium steps

Hi Guys,

Have you made sure to check out our recent blog? We think you should give it a read!
Stepladders and the podium steps are two specialised pieces of equipment which are ideal for use in work environments which require minimal additional height. Both come in a number of different configurations for use in many specific work situations, and both have their own strengths and weaknesses.
When it comes to safety, are stepladders better than podium steps? And what should you be looking for to tell if the stepladder or podium step you are using is up to the job?

Is this the most dangerous step ladder ever?

Hi Guys, This ladder looks cool, but I certainly wouldn't like to be the one going up it...

From cupboards to garages, the more people you have in your home, the more spare space you surrender to storage. There are many inventive ways to maximise storage space in the home, but one of the most common, which many homeowners are fortunate enough to have access to, is the loft. Unless you’re a bungalow owner, chances are you use your loft for storage. Loft space is a useful result of owning a home with an angled roof, and there are many different ways it can be put to use. Some homeowners choose to develop their loft into living space, decorating the interior, adding skylights and turning the space into an extra bedroom.

Hey Guys, Have you made sure that your scaffold tower meets safety standards? It is your peace of mind that our products have been tested and inspected to meet a high standard of safety.
