Safe Access Platform Hire
Safety is at the heart of every hire at Palmer Access. Our commitment runs from how we train operators to the way we inspect, maintain and operate every platform. Each job is planned carefully to protect people, property and the working environment. Whether it’s a city-centre setup or a remote site in the Highlands, the same standards apply. Every platform is operated by fully qualified staff, inspected to meet LOLER regulations and supported by the planning, documentation and communication needed for safe, efficient working at height.
Operator Training and Equipment Standards
Our operators hold IPAF qualifications and complete regular refresher training to maintain their skills. This expertise is matched by a well-maintained fleet, with every machine serviced and inspected in line with LOLER standards. Pre-hire checks confirm that all safety systems function perfectly before equipment leaves our yard.
The result is a consistent, professional service that delivers confidence on every job, supported by qualified people using modern, fully compliant access platforms.
Site Safety and Risk Management
Each hire begins with a thorough assessment of the site to ensure safe setup and operation. Operators review access routes, ground conditions, surrounding structures and weather before positioning the platform. Clear communication with site teams keeps everyone informed, and signage or barriers are used where needed to maintain safe working areas.
This careful preparation ensures smooth, secure operation in every setting, from tight urban streets to open rural locations.
Compliance, Insurance and Continuous Improvement
Palmer Access works in full compliance with HSE guidance and UK legislation. Our business is fully insured with both public and employer’s liability cover and clients can be confident that every aspect of a hire meets strict safety and legal requirements.
Ongoing internal reviews, regular safety briefings and customer feedback all play a part in refining our systems. This continual improvement keeps our standards high and ensures safe, dependable performance on every project.
