At Team Systems Australia, we stock a range of safety steps designed to provide safe and convenient access to low-to-medium height areas. Compact in design and easy to use, safety steps are an essential piece of access equipment for any home, office, or workplace where workers regularly need to reach shelves, overhead storage, or other elevated areas.
Safety Step Uses
Safety steps are used in a wide variety of environments due to their compact size and ease of use. They are commonly found in offices, retail stores, kitchens, warehouses, schools, hospitals, and aged care facilities. Their low-profile design makes them ideal for situations where a full-size ladder would be impractical or unnecessary, providing a quick and safe solution for everyday access needs.
Things to Consider When Choosing a Safety Step
Before selecting a safety step, there are a few key factors to keep in mind.
Firstly, consider the height you need to reach. Safety steps are available in single-step and multi-step configurations, so choose a model that allows you to comfortably access the required height without overreaching.
Secondly, think about the working environment. For environments where spills or wet floors are common, look for safety steps with extra-wide non-slip treads and a stable base for added security.
Finally, check the load rating to ensure the safety step can safely support the weight of the user along with any items being handled.
Important Features of Our Safety Steps
Our safety steps are designed with both safety and convenience in mind. Key features include a sturdy aluminium or steel construction for durability, wide non-slip treads for secure footing, a stable base to prevent tipping during use, and a compact, lightweight design that makes them easy to move and store when not in use.
Precautions You Can Take When Using Safety Steps
As with all access equipment, it is important to follow safe work practices when using safety steps. Below are some key precautions to observe.
- Always check that the user's weight does not exceed the load rating of the safety step before use.
- Ensure the safety step is placed on a flat, stable, and level surface before stepping on it.
- Never use a safety step on wet or slippery floors without ensuring the non-slip feet are in good condition.
- Always face the safety step when climbing or descending, and maintain a firm grip on any available handrails.
- Do not overreach while standing on a safety step — step down and reposition it instead.
- Inspect the safety step before each use for any signs of damage, worn non-slip treads, or loose components. Remove any damaged equipment from service immediately.
