Werner, the access equipment manufacturer, is celebrating three years of its ‘Stepping Up to Safety’ campaign, a nationwide initiative aimed at raising awareness and improving safety for professionals working at height.
Launched in 2022, the campaign offers a range of safety guides and practical advice, and has delivered guidance to thousands of tradespeople, reinforcing best practices and safe equipment use on worksites across the UK.
Justin White, managing director for Werner UK Sales & Distribution Limited, says: “We are proud that the ‘Stepping Up to Safety’ guides have reached thousands of professionals, and to this day, continue to educate access equipment users on best practices. This is especially important given the latest 2025 HSE (Health and Safety Executive) Report, which highlights the real dangers of working at height.”
“As a leading manufacturer of access equipment, we look to extend our commitment to promoting safety and raising awareness of the risks associated with working at height.” white continues, “We also hope that the campaign continues to help employers and professionals in improving their safety practices.”
