Podium Steps

Dubbed the perfect middle ground between step ladders and scaffold towers, the ever-popular podium steps are an ideal solution for those small odd jobs at height.

But be warned, if you think that riding your podium steps is an easy option when it comes to moving them then the likelihood is that you could find yourself in trouble with the HSE in the near future.

Safety officers have noticed construction workers are changing the position of their podium steps with a passenger on board with alarming regularity.

This dangerous move may save a few seconds of time but construction workers could pay a high price if they are injured during the process.

The HSE is recommending a cost-effective solution in the form of a simple modification that can be made to nearly all types of podium steps.

Base plates are easy to fit and ensure that the podium steps can still be moved retaining versatility and flexibility, just not when a person is still on board.
