Choosing the right access method is mostly about height, duration, and how often you need to reposition.
Ladders & steps
Quick, short-duration access for maintenance and painting.
Scaffold towers
Stable, self-build platforms for longer jobs at a fixed height.
Powered access
Scissor lifts and boom lifts for repositioning across a wider area.
Operated powered access
Access with a qualified operator included for complex lifts.
Choosing the right way to work at height
The Work at Height Regulations set out a hierarchy, avoid work at height where possible, then use the safest equipment for the duration and repetition of the task. A quick 20-minute gutter clear favours a ladder, while a full day of facade painting is far better suited to a tower or powered platform that lets you stand and work rather than balance and stretch.
Scaffold towers need no licence to use but PASMA training is strongly recommended above 2.5m, and the tower must be built following the manufacturer's sequence on firm, level ground with outriggers fitted correctly, rushing the build sequence is one of the most common causes of tower instability.
Powered access generally needs an IPAF licence matched to the platform category, 3a for static scissor lifts and 3b for mobile boom lifts being the most common categories on construction sites. Operated hire with a qualified driver is available where training up your own staff would not be worthwhile for a one-off job.
Working at height regulations apply
The Work at Height Regulations 2005 require the safest practical method of access for the job. Powered access typically needs an IPAF licence, scaffold towers need PASMA training for anything above 2.5m, and all equipment needs a pre-use inspection.
