Suspended access equipment is any type of platform, scaffolding, or hoist that is suspended from a structure in order to perform maintenance or construction work. It is typically used to reach high places or to gain entrance to difficult to reach areas.
Any building owner or manager that operates suspended access equipment that protects users from a fall from height has a duty to ensure that it remains safe and fit for purpose.
