  Timber frame construction projects move quickly, but they often present unique access challenges in the early stages of a build. Before permanent staircases are installed, site teams still need safe and reliable access between floors to carry tools, materials and equipment. We work with contractors to provide safe temporary stair solutions that replace the need for ladders during these critical early phases of construction. A recent project with Cala Group Limited demonstrates how temporary access stairs can significantly improve construction site safety on timber frame builds. The Challenge: Safe Access Before Permanent Stairs Are Installed On many residential construction projects, particularly timber frame developments, the permanent staircase is installed later in the build programme. However, site teams still need to move between levels from the early structural stages. Without a dedicated access solution, this often means relying on ladders. While ladders are sometimes necessary, they can present risks when workers are carrying tools, materials, or equipment between floors. This is where AdjustaStairs provide a much safer alternative. A Practical Temporary Stair Solution We supplied AdjustaStairs to provide a safe, stable temporary stair access system for the timber frame structure. AdjustaStairs are specifically designed for construction environments and offer several advantages: Quick installation on active construction sites Adjustable height to suit multi-level structures Safe access when carrying tools or materials A more stable alternative to ladders Improved safety for workers moving between floors On this Cala Group project, the temporary stairs allowed site teams to safely access upper levels of the timber frame structure while construction progressed toward the stage where the permanent staircase would be installed. As residential developments increasingly adopt modern methods of construction, including timber frame systems, having the right temporary works and access equipment becomes even more important. Providing safe vertical access early in the build programme

When unexpected site conditions arise, having access to reliable temporary access solutions can make all the difference in maintaining productivity and, most importantly, ensuring construction site safety. We recently supported M Group following a landslide in Dorking, providing a rapid deployment of our AdjustaStairs to restore safe access on site. Responding Quickly to a Site Safety Challenge Following the landslide, the team on site required a safe and secure access route to allow personnel to move safely across the affected area. With ground conditions changed and access compromised, a reliable temporary staircase solution was urgently needed. The request for AdjustaStairs came through late in the afternoon. Thanks to our rapid response capability, we were able to coordinate delivery immediately, ensuring the stairs arrived first thing the following morning. By the start of the working day, the access stairs were already on site and ready to support the team. Providing Safe Temporary Access for Infrastructure Projects Temporary access systems are critical when working in environments where terrain or site conditions can change quickly. Our AdjustaStairs are designed specifically for situations like this, offering: Fast deployment on active worksites Adjustable configurations for any access requirement Safe, compliant access for personnel Reliable solutions during emergency or unexpected site conditions For the team at M Group, the installation of the AdjustaStairs created a stable and secure route of access, enabling work to continue safely despite the challenging conditions caused by the landslide. Supporting M Group with Rapid Response Access Solutions At SafeSmart, we work closely with contractors and infrastructure providers to ensure they have the right access equipment when they need it most. Being able to respond to a late afternoon request and deliver a working solution the very next morning demonstrates how important speed, reliability, and collaboration are when supporting live projects.

One Platform for All MRO Requirements When it comes to aircraft maintenance, speed and safety are essential. Yet many MRO teams struggle with access equipment that’s tailored to only a handful of aircraft types, leading to high costs and complex logistics. Enter ReachDeck: a truly universal work platform engineered to meet the access needs of maintenance teams across fixed-wing and rotary aircraft, all from a single, highly adaptable system. With wide height adjustability and multiple configurations, ReachDeck simplifies aircraft servicing and enhances operational efficiency, no matter the fleet mix or task at hand. What Is ReachDeck? ReachDeck is a modular, fully adjustable maintenance work platform designed for a wide range of MRO tasks. Its standout feature is its height adjustability from 2.0 metres up to 5.4 metres, using a simple manual winch. This range makes it highly adaptable for aircraft of varying sizes and access requirements. Built for mobility and ease of deployment, ReachDeck can be lifted by crane or aircraft, making it suitable for both on-base and offshore operations. Two Platform Configurations ReachDeck is available in two main configurations, each optimised for specific access needs within fixed-wing operations. 9-Step ReachDeck – Main Entry Door Access The 9-Step ReachDeck is ideal for providing main entry door access to regional and narrow-body aircraft such as: Embraer E170 Embraer E190 Boeing 737 Airbus A220 This configuration is perfect for routine inspections, cabin servicing, and entry-level access work. 15-Step ReachDeck – Wide-Range MED Access The 15-Step ReachDeck offers Main Entry Door (MED) access across a broad spectrum of aircraft, including larger narrow-body and wide-body types: Airbus A320 Airbus A321 Airbus A330 Airbus A350 Airbus A380 Boeing 707 Boeing 747 Boeing 757 Boeing 767 Boeing 777 Boeing 787 This makes it ideal for maintenance teams that work across diverse fleets or require flexible height
