Had the pleasure of spending the day at Milton Keynes College, Woughton campus with the painting and decorating apprentices.

This involved SafeStand erecting the equipment and then having the apprentices working to install all the handrails safely, using the advanced guardrail to ensure that there were never any leading edges during the installation process.

Although some had reservations about working on a platform at 2200m high, once they realised that by using the advanced guardrail, they were protected at all times. Good watching them grow in confidence as the day wore on.

A big thank you to Alfie Del Basso and Tony Rice for the invite and for the coffee’s and sandwich.These days are part of our ongoing commitment to the college and hopefully, this won’t be our last invite.
