Prevent falls by using the right equipment for heights

Working at heights has its risks, whether you're replacing a light in a high-ceilinged retail store or emptying your rain gutter of fallen autumn leaves.

Though these may seem like simple tasks, it's a whole different ball game when you're a few metres above the ground.

Workers falling from heights is an issue that the Queensland Government says continues to plague the construction industry, so it's important that you take the necessary steps to help ensure the safety of your employees.

Making safety gear such as hard hats and harnesses a requirement for these jobs is one step you can take, with hiring and using the relevant equipment another.

Kennards has a range of access equipment available to help with jobs that require workers to perform maintenance, repair tasks or other relevant work at heights.

Visit your local branch to check out Kennards' access equipment which include scissor lifts, cherry pickers, boom lifts and man lifts. 

A Kennards worker can help you to find the lift that is best suited to your needs so that you can get the job done efficiently and safely.
