The oil and gas, food and drink, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries, among others, all share a common challenge: ensuring worker safety when navigating elevated work environments. Falls from heights remain a leading cause of serious injuries in these sectors. At EWFM, we’re dedicated to providing innovative solutions that prioritise both safety and efficiency.
We’re excited to announce five pioneering additions to our popular access system range, shaping the future of height safety for our valued clients within these critical industries. These cutting-edge solutions address the unique needs of each sector, from the demanding environments of oil and gas refineries to the stringent hygiene requirements of food and beverage processing plants.
These systems are designed to maximise worker protection while ensuring a smooth and streamlined workflow. Get ready to experience a new level of confidence and control when tackling any height-related project within your facility.
Why Safety Access Systems are essential in our industries:
While seemingly diverse, the oil and gas, food and drink, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries share a critical need for robust safety access systems when working at heights. Here’s why:
Heightened Risk Environments:
Most, but not all, industries we supply products to involve working with elevated platforms, tanks, vats, and machinery. A single misstep can lead to catastrophic consequences, including worker injuries and equipment damage.
Strict Regulations:
Each industry operates under stringent safety regulations. These regulations mandate the use of proper fall protection equipment to minimize the risk of falls. Implementing advanced safety access systems demonstrates proactive compliance and commitment to worker well-being.
Focus on Worker Safety:
At the heart of every successful operation lies a skilled and motivated workforce. Safety access systems not only protect workers from falls but also foster a culture of safety, leading to increased morale and productivity.
By investing in advanced safety access systems, companies in these industries can create a safer, more efficient, and compliant work environment for their employees, ultimately leading to a win-win situation for both safety and profitability.
Introducing the newest additions:
Wide Folding Stairs – The Wide Folding Stair features extra-wide, non-slip steps and integrated handrails for exceptional comfort, stability, and reduced fatigue, minimizing the risk of slips and falls. It also provides unrestricted access to tanker and railcar tops, as the extra space allows for unhindered positioning of the loading arm.
Custom-Built Tanker Safety Cages – We recognise that every access situation is unique, and a one-size-fits-all solution just won’t cut it. That’s why we offer our Custom-Built Tanker Safety Cage. This innovative system creates a secure enclosure around the work area, eliminating the risk of falls and guaranteeing worker safety at any height. Now, your team can focus on their tasks with complete peace of mind.
Vertical Elevated Tanker Loading Platform – Looking for a total access solution for your tanker operations? Look no further! Our platform goes beyond just providing height access; it transforms into a comprehensive safety system. By seamlessly integrating with our Tanker Folding Stairs and Safety Cages, you can create secure access at any tanker height. This integrated approach minimizes fall risks and fosters a safe environment throughout the entire loading process, giving you peace of mind and increased efficiency.
Sliding Folding Stairs – Tanker and railcar filling points are notoriously inconsistent, presenting a major hurdle for standard folding stairs during filling and emptying operations. Workers are forced to constantly reposition the tanker to match the fixed position of the stairs. The Sliding Folding Stair eliminates the need for such adjustments. The unit can simply be moved to the desired position manually and locked into place with a locking bolt.
Full Length Tanker Safety Cages – When a tanker or railcar has multiple manways, or when the location of the manway is uncertain, the full-length safety cage is the ideal solution. This cage provides complete enclosure around the loading and unloading area, ensuring maximum safety for workers.
