DO I NEED TO WEAR A HARNESS?

Work Safe NZ require users to where harnesses when in the basket of a cherrypicker or boom type lift. Prior to the use of a scissorlift, a Hazard Assessment of the site should be completed to decide on whether a harness system will be required to complete the job safely. Should the decision to use a harness be made, the harness should be attached to certified anchor points using a lanyard or adjustable lanyard, fitted with a short energy absorber or fit for purpose self retracting lifeline (SRL).

DO YOU SUPPLY HARNESSES WITH YOUR EQUIPMENT?

Accessman provide FREE harnesses for all Cherrypickers and Knucklebooms.

Accessman offer harnesses for hire on scissorlifts should they be required.

We can guarantee you:

  1. Quality machines  All machines undergo systematic safety checks before each and every hire. This includes tyres and structural integrity of the machines ensuring they are in optimal condition and fully comply with national Health and Safety Approved Codes of Practice.

  2. Expert advice  Accessman are specialists in EWP equipment which means we have excellent knowledge of how best to assist you in getting the job done effectively and efficiently.
  3. After hours service  Accessman understands that sometimes you need to work around the clock to get your job done. With this in mind we provide a 24/7 breakdown and call out service.
  4. Availability  Even with over 1000 machines in our fleet, we can't always guarantee the machine you need will be available but we can guarantee that we will go above and beyond to make a machine available for you.
  5. Free induction  Accessman are committed to the safety of both machine users and the public. It is with that in mind we offer free operational and safety induction with every hire.
  6. Minimal downtime  Our crew includes service technicians and truck drivers. This means in the unlikely event of a breakdown we can respond quickly and efficiently. Should our service technicians be unable to fix a breakdown onsite, an immediate swap for a functioning machine will be made to ensure minimal downtime for you.
