Podiums Podiums
Safe Use of Podiums

A podium may be the most suitable equipment to use for work at
height if the work is low risk, short duration and not needed very
often. Podiums provide low level height access offering a firm platform
with adjustable height, and guard rail. They can be tubular self-
erecting or folded prior to erection, so as to pass through standard
doors and corridors. Set-up time is minimal. Podiums became
extensively used following the implementation of The Work at Height
Regulations.
The HSE’s key message is to put tools and materials onto the podium
at ground level wherever possible and always close and lock the gate
before starting work.
PASMA has introduced PAS 250, a Publicly Available Specification

for a low-level work platform with one working platform with side
protection for use by one person with a maximum working platform
height of less than 2.5 m. PASMA states that podiums designed in
accordance with PAS 250 apply current best practice.

Nevertheless, secondary guarding cannot replace the operator’s

responsibility to be aware of their surroundings and the need to follow
the safe working practices.
We offer SkyGuard system for use with our JLG booms, as shown in

device that provides an innovative solution to preventing injury and

SiOPS® eliminates further injury by interrupting all machine movement

The SkyGuard system fits above the control panel. When subject to
pressure of around 23kg or more, it stops all functions and immediately
reverses most functions that caused the pressure. It can be activated

no need for scheduled or additional maintenance. A horn alerts other
workers on the jobsite to sensor activation and the equipment includes
all required hardware, components and instructions.
