5 Signs Your Access Platform Isn’t Meeting Safety Requirements

Over time, access platforms can become unsafe. Here’s what to look for.

1. Worn or Loose Handrails

Movement or corrosion is a major safety hazard.

2. Damaged or Slippery Flooring

Anti-slip surfaces must be maintained.

3. No Load Rating Labelling

If the rating isn’t visible, the platform may not be compliant.

4. Rust or Structural Wear

Aluminium and steel wear and fatigue may compromise durability over time.

5. Poor Fit for Current Machinery

Workshops often update machinery but not access equipment.

If you notice any of these signs, Ricbuilt can repair, replace, or redesign your platform.
