Why Do You Need a Lift in Your Workplace?
In today’s society, workplaces without a lift are considered a little behind on the times as accessibility for all people should be a high priority.
Accessibility
Every workplace should be accessible for all, whether they are a wheelchair user or have mobility problems. Installing a lift will make those less mobile feel comfortable in their working environment, so they can continue their job and feel valued in the workplace. Additionally, if you regularly have clients visiting your office then don’t assume that they can use the stairs - a lack of facilities is not the way to impress!
Speed
If you’re conscious about how much time your employees are spending going from A to B then giving them access to a lift will cut this is half, especially if your workplace has several flights of stairs. Furthermore, businesses that require heavy loads to be transported around the building will undoubtedly need a lift - without one pace will be slower and even with adequate training, the safety of your employees may be in jeopardy.
Staircases can be one of the most dangerous of any workplace - according to government stats around 1,000 stair-related accidents occur each year at work meaning your employees and customers could be at risk. As an employer it’s your duty to ensure that the workplace is safe from tripping and falling hazard; installing a lift is a practical solution to this problem and a much safer way of moving around the building.
