Key People
Accreditations and Standards
Palmer Access operates to nationally recognised standards for safety and quality. Every operator holds IPAF and CPCS certification, and all platforms are maintained and inspected under LOLER regulations. Routine servicing, detailed maintenance logs and continuous training ensure both people and equipment meet strict compliance requirements.
These accreditations reflect more than paperwork. They show a company-wide commitment to safe working practices and professional conduct on every hire, earning consistent positive feedback and long-term trust from clients across Scotland.
Health and Safety Commitment
Safety underpins everything we do. Each project begins with a thorough assessment of the site and working environment to ensure setup and operation are both safe and efficient. Our operators prepare risk assessments and method statements where required, following structured checklists before work begins.
All hires are completed using certified equipment and trained operators. We plan access routes, operating positions and on-site logistics carefully to maintain the highest standards of safety and compliance, detailed within our Health & Safety standards.
