We prioritise all Health & Safety related issues, and as a result, invest a significant amount of time and effort developing our working methods to ensure all work is carried out in line with our current policies, and ensure all our staff do too.

FALL ARREST SYSTEMS
Working at height is one of the most dangerous activities in construction. At PSS we take into consideration the responsibility for our installation teams at every stage of the process.
As part of our installation service PSS can provide a comprehensive range of fall arrest and protection systems for most projects. Depending on the specific site conditions, PSS can offer a fall prevention system and working platform which is lightweight and easy to erect, allowing operatives to work directly on the decking.
SAFETY DECKING
With the ability to withstand up to 2.5kN p/m2, this system conforms to a class 3 platform. Additionally, the deck stands at approximately 1.8 metres from the floor – enabling contractors to work safely at the correct height for the installation.
The range of work we undertake includes:
- Class 3 Platform withstanding 2.5kN psqm
- Quick and easy to install
- Fits all irregular floor plans
- Water, rot and UV resistant
.
