To support ongoing maintenance activities at its Cardiff headquarters, Companies House required a safe and compliant access solution within the building’s plant room.

The government organisation, which oversees the incorporation and registration of companies across the UK, needed reliable access to elevated plant equipment to facilitate routine inspection and maintenance work.

Following a site assessment, Safety Fabrications recommended its Ascent™ Ladder With Platform system. Installation was carried out by specialist contractor PTSG Access & Safety, who fitted three ladder and platform units to provide secure access to the required areas.

Designed in accordance with BS EN 14122-4:2016, the Ascent™ Ladder With Platform offers a robust solution for accessing rooftop and plant room environments. The system can be tailored to suit a variety of building requirements and incorporates additional safety features where necessary, including rest platforms, self-closing gates and anti-climb protection.

The completed installation now provides maintenance teams with safe, dependable access, helping Companies House carry out essential plant room operations efficiently and in line with current safety standards.
