Working At Height Over Desks Is A Nightmare! But Ability International Can Help Make It Easier…

Construction News Image
Working on ceilings, walls, and windows when desks are in the way is a problem encountered by most tradespeople on a regular basis.

When working at height over desks, you won't be thanked for climbing onto someone’s cluttered desk to reach the problem area – not to mention the health and safety issues this poses. It’s an accident waiting to happen.

Of course, the other option is to move any desks out of the way. This will involve clearing each desk and unplugging items like computers and printers, then moving everything back once the job is finished.

This disruption will not only annoy the workers, but it will also take a lot of time – and time means extra costs.

Working At Height Access Solutions – How The Desksurfer Can Help

Ability International's "Desksurfer" has been specially designed with this problem in mind. It allows easy access to both high and low-level areas.
