Those gyms we neglect on the platforms will get better used, at least.

I haven't heard of any probe with UK Scaffs using the Step, however, one size may not fit all, for example, perhaps, quest workers in your region who may be slight of build and challenged in stature all be it their natural body size…

I've seen one or two struggling to reach the return doubles on a handrail but it's usually the spanner chokers who don't know how to get a few extra inches out of holding the spanner lower down. It's should still only be 2m between the handrails anyway.
Not sure why the size is stated in inches as the CAA is a UK regulatory Body and in the UK metric has been mandatory since 1978. That said 22" equates to around 560mm which I would suggest is quite small for the average working "Big Bonedid" Scaff.
I'm 59 years of age, 1.73m in height (5'8")and have lifted nothing heaver than a mug of coffee for the last 15 years and I am still 560mm at the shoulders. Christ knows what the typical 1.8m (6'00") working scaff measures especially the offshore breed who get fed massive meals 8 times a day????
I was always the little fuc*er wedged between two big bastar*s on the AS365 Dauphin out of Easington. Glad I don't need to do it these days.

talking of size, now SG4 is well established and the use of the step is well underway in the UK have you guys had problems with "short" scaffs not being able to reach the lifts?
If so how have you overcome the problem??
