Safety First

Over the past few weeks we have been publicising the recent news events involving ladders and scaffold towers – some news items cover major safety breaches where even the most basic of safety equipment is not provided whilst in other areas, the safety considerations are so extreme that it is costing far too much money installing it!

So, what should we consider as necessary? Well firstly, safety and selection of the right equipment is not reserved for businesses – there are many, many domestic accidents that go unreported. Our aim here at BPS Access Solutions is to provide a solution to all DIY and trade jobs – we have a ladder for virtually every purpose and furthermore we are happy to provide advice on which ladder would suit your needs best. We also ensure that the price you pay will not be beaten anywhere else on the High Street.

Secondly always ensure that the equipment you buy is safe for use. The current certification for European Trade/DIY standard is EN131 for ladders this ensures that the ladder you are buying is fit for the purpose intended and is safe to use. All our ladders carry this certification.

Our loyal aluminium/trade scaffold towers Conform to the requirements of the 3T erection and dismantling method as set out by HSE (Health & safety Executive), PASMA (Prefabricated Access Suppliers and Manufacturers Association) so you know you are in safe hands when you buy from us.

Thirdly is the selection of the right ladder or scaffold tower for the job to be done. The news coverage of the work accident in Baldock where an employee fractured their pelvis after falling 2 metres from a work beam highlights the importance of safety equipment. In this case, an investigation from the Health and Safety Executive revealed that the employer failed to provide any safety equipment for the job and employees were instucted to use the zig zags in the uprights of the warehouse racking as a ladder and this was standard practice within the company. Climbing racking is extremely dangerous and managers should have been aware of what safety equipment to provide – in this case a set of library steps or small self supporting scaffold tower should have been provided for use along with appropriate training in its use.

In the DIY environment using the correct equipment is just as important – one of the main considerations is to ensure the correct length of ladder is used – never ever stand on the safety rail of step ladders in order to achieve extra height and don’t attempt to use 2 or more ladders together unless they are designed for this use such as our extension ladders. If you do many jobs around your home then our multi purpose ladder would be a good choice – it combines a step ladder, extension ladder and free standing ladder all in one unit. It is also certified for trade use as well as DIY.

Don’t forget we also supply a huge range of indoor ladders including loft solutions, quick escape ladders, easy store ladders and scaffold towers suitable for indoor use – for example decorating your stair well.

Finally when you have selected your product, ensure that you are not paying more than what you need to. At BPS Access Solutions, we trawl the web daily to ensure that we offer the best prices around. All of our products have extras included which cost more from other outlets. Our DIY scaffold tower has fully colour coded braces and very strong welded frames as found on more expensive industrial scaffold towers!

There is a free lifetime guarantee on all parts on all our ladders so you can buy with confidence as well as free next day delivery – Many others do not offer either of these extras.

We are the leading loft ladder experts. We have a loft ladder to suit all budgets and all our loft ladders are superior top quality with solutions available for almost all loft spaces – do not be without the correct ladder for your loft.

Not sure which ladder to buy or like to try before you buy? We stock a range of gift vouchers so the lucky recipient can decide which ladder is best for them and we also have a high street shop located in Biggin Hill, Kent which still offers the same internet prices on the high street whilst also enabling you to view and try the product you have in mind. Collection is available too from our store.

If you choose to buy your ladder or scaffold tower from BPS Access Solutions you will not be disappointed. We have sales on many of our products on top of unbeatable prices – check our website for our latest sale www.laddersandscaffoldtowers.co.uk and all prices include Vat. Order before 3pm for delivery the next working day.

We look forward to assisting you soon.

 

 

 

 

We’ve got it all wrapped up for Christmas at BPS!

Its that time of year again when thoughts start turning to what to buy friends and relatives for Christmas!

Many of us face this same problem year after year – what can you get the person who has everything? or try to get out of the same rut of buying socks, ties, wine, biscuits etc!

So here is where we can help! Why not consider the gift of a ladder – suitable for any DIY enthusiast – a surefire winner and a gift that will last for years to come! we have many styles of ladders available all intended for different uses, so if the special person already has a ladder, consider if its as safe as it can be…..many of our ladders feature free safety upgrades such as rubber feet and safety platforms and all meet the EN131certification ladder safety standards so you can be sure you are buying the safest ladder possible at less than high street prices! See our full range of ladders and scaffold towers at www.laddersandscaffoldtowers.co.uk

Do you know someone who has recently started up their own business within the trades – a window cleaner, electrician, or builder for example and you would like to give them a helping hand in buying what they need to get started – a ladder would be an integral part of their job!  Many of our ladders are trade quality EN131 standard.  Our range of ladders can be found here http://www.laddersandscaffoldtowers.co.uk/acatalog/ladders.html for advice on all our trade items not included here please call our customer hotline for dedicated, professional advice on 0871 2000 369.

Theres always a good excuse to buy a ladder!….

 

The price you pay will be far less than what you would pay on the high street and we also include free next day delivery in almost all cases.  To get Christmas off to a great start our Christmas Sale is now on – order by 3pm and receive the next working day, its very simple and hassle free.  We’re open until the 23rd December and open again on the 28th December 2011 so for all your last minute requirements we are here for you.  To see our range of ladders and access solutions available in our Christmas Sale please visit http://www.laddersandscaffoldtowers.co.uk/

Our Christmas sale contains a range of both interior and exterior ladders – and many are designed to save space in your home – ladders don’t have to be huse cumbersome objects that take up a whole side of your garage any longer!  Take our telescopic ladder for example, available in 2 sizes in our sale and folds down into a heavy duty carry bag and fitting easily into a cupboard, under the bed or into the boot of a car with ease. In our opinion, the Telescopic Ladder is probably the most innovative access product to hit the market in recent years. As such, there are many inferior products in the marketplace that are neither as safe, strong nor durable as our ladder. We have also added a stabiliser bar for extra safety – to our knowledge this is the only Telescopic Ladder on the market that has the benefit of this feature.  For more information and to purchase, please visit  http://www.laddersandscaffoldtowers.co.uk/acatalog/Telescopic_Ladders.html

We also have a concertina loft ladder – if you’ve been struggling to get into your loft this year to retrieve your Christmas decorations or you struggle to manage a conventional loft ladder, this is the solution for you. This Loft ladder provides the perfect solution for those “awkward” applications where loft opening or floor space is limited. It is also ideal where space within the loft is limited as it folds into a “cube” and needs no clearance outside of the loft opening perimeter. In short, it will fit in almost all cases and has the added benefit of being the easiest of all loft ladders to fit.  For more information and to purchase please visit http://www.laddersandscaffoldtowers.co.uk/acatalog/Concertina_Loft_Ladders.html

We’re always considering safety here at BPS Access Solutions – with the festive period under way, many of us don’t think about our escape options from our home in the event of a fire – with electrical outlets often overloaded or at full stretch this time of year with added demand from our Christmas lighting, a carelessly left cigarette can cause house fires.  Without wishing to state the obvious effects of this, we stock 3 Easy Throw escape ladders – 3.85m, 4.75m and 7.85m all of which are in our Christmas sale, in our opinion no home should be without an Escape ladder – it could save your life.  With quick and easy deployment, able to hold 3 people at any one time, durable, tangle free and flame resistant and folds easily under the bed or in the wardrobe – at this price, ensure your family and guest safety by considering one for each bedroom.  For more information and to purchase please visit http://www.laddersandscaffoldtowers.co.uk/acatalog/Fire_Escape_Ladders.html

We also have 3 sizes of platform step ladder – an indispensable item that no home should be without.  Hard to reach areas exist in every household – from cupboard tops to changing a light bulb, it can be a real head ache when you simply cannot reach – and resorting to standing on chairs and the like is very dangerous – most accidents are in the home, so its worth having a step ladder on hand to ensure your safety when carrying out routine tasks around the home.  Available in 7 sizes (3 being in our Christmas sale) Our step ladders are  Top quality – and  include an integral platform and high safety rail. Our complete Platform Step Ladder that offers ease of use, stability and safety and is EN131 Certified (European Trade & DIY Standard) for your safety and reassurance.  Our Christmas sale step ladders are the 2 step, 5 step and 6 step versions all offering the same safety and reassurance measures.  For more information and to purchase please visit http://www.laddersandscaffoldtowers.co.uk/acatalog/Platform_Step_Ladders.html

We also offer a collection service at our shop in Biggin Hill in Kent.  To take away today and to look at our full range of items and to try before you buy all at internet prices, we would love to see you at our shop please see http://www.laddersandscaffoldtowers.co.uk/acatalog/Contact_Us.html  for further information and directions.

It is a very safe, strong tower built around a folding base making it the easiest and quickest of all towers to erect and dismantle – hence the name! It is Certified to the very latest EN1004 European safety standard and also carries the GS (German) mark of quality (equivalent to the UK Kitemark). Being available in 5 sizes, there is a tower in this range for almost every job

• The tower that really lives up to its name. Being built around a folding base, it is extremely quick and easy to erect, dismantle and transport with no tools being required. This makes it ideal for single person use
