The company was honoured in the Occupational Safety category for "Highest Customer Satisfaction". - [Working safely in autumn – reaching new heights with KRAUSE mobile scaffolds](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/working-safely-in-autumn-reaching-new-heights-with-krause-mobile-scaffolds.html): When outdoor maintenance, refurbishment and repair work is due in autumn, working at great heights once again takes centre stage. Facades need to be inspected, gutters cleaned, lighting systems serviced, and industrial and warehouse areas prepared for the approaching cold season. At the same time, changeable weather, shorter days, damp surfaces and fallen leaves place additional demands on planning, organisation and health and safety. - [InnoTrans 2026: Safe access solutions for rail vehicles and buses with KRAUSE](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/innotrans-2026-safe-access-solutions-for-rail-vehicles-and-buses-with-krause.html): From 22 to 25 September 2026, KRAUSE will be showcasing practical access solutions for the production, maintenance, and repair of rail vehicles and buses at InnoTrans in Berlin. Trade visitors can find the company in Hall 6.2 at Stand 760. - [KRAUSE’s PPE range: A holistic approach to safety when working at height](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/krauses-ppe-range-a-holistic-approach-to-safety-when-working-at-height.html): Working at height is part of everyday life in many industries. Tradespeople fit components to façades, building cleaners work in hard-to-reach areas, fitters service technical equipment on roofs, and maintenance teams often access higher workstations via ladders, fixed ladders or permanently installed access points. As varied as the areas of application are, the key requirement is clear: fall risks must be identified at an early stage, assessed professionally and reduced through appropriate protective measures. - [Safe assembly platforms for hydrogen technology](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/safe-assembly-platforms-for-hydrogen-technology.html): KRAUSE has developed seven double-sided assembly platforms for Hexagon Purus in Weeze, which are specifically designed for the production of hydrogen transport containers. - [Legally compliant inspections without any red tape: KRAUSE INSPECT supports businesses directly on site](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/legally-compliant-inspections-without-any-red-tape-krause-inspect-supports-businesses-directly-on-site.html): In day-to-day operations, work equipment must function reliably. This applies in particular to ladders, step stools, mobile scaffolding (mobile work platforms) and customised solutions. They enable safe access, facilitate maintenance work, ensure safe passageways and create ergonomic workplaces. If they are damaged, used incorrectly or not inspected in good time, this creates risks for employees and the company. A fall from a ladder, an unstable mobile scaffold or a damaged custom-built structure can lead not only to serious injuries, but also to production stoppages, liability issues and organisational problems. - [Safety starts with knowledge: Practical training courses on the safe use of access equipment](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/safety-starts-with-knowledge-practical-training-courses-on-the-safe-use-of-access-equipment.html): Ladders, folding steps, mobile scaffolding (mobile working platforms) and fixed ladders are an integral part of everyday working life in many businesses. They provide access to maintenance areas, machinery, shelving, technical installations or structural elements, and are often used as a matter of course. However, this is precisely where the risk lies: a damaged ladder rail, a mobile scaffold erected incorrectly or a fixed ladder that has not been properly inspected can quickly turn a routine task into a dangerous situation. - [KRAUSE 360° competence: Comprehensive expertise in access technology for safe and efficient work processes](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/krause-360-competence-comprehensive-expertise-in-access-technology-for-safe-and-efficient-work-processes.html): Safe access to heights is a daily part of work in many businesses. Tradespeople install components in a variety of working environments; fitters service plant, machinery and vehicles; and maintenance teams access control, operating and maintenance points at height. At the same time, safety officers, occupational safety specialists and site managers are responsible for ensuring that suitable work equipment is selected, regularly inspected and documented in accordance with the law. Purchasing officers, engineers and process planners must also ensure that access equipment is not only safe, but also cost-effective, durable and capable of being seamlessly integrated into existing workflows. - [Safe solutions for the commercial vehicle range](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/sichere-loesungen-fuer-das-nutzfahrzeuge-sortiment-1.html): Access equipment as a key factor for safety and efficiency Whether buses, lorries, municipal vehicles, rail vehicles or specialised vehicles: commercial vehicles present workshops, manufacturing companies, operators and service providers with particular challenges in servicing, maintenance, cleaning and production. Work is carried out not only at the sides of the vehicles, but—depending on the vehicle type—also at the front and rear, on the roof, in the underbody area, or on hard-to-reach attachments and components. At the same time, technical requirements are increasing. For example, the roofs of modern buses now often house air-conditioning systems, energy storage units, tanks and pipework. As a result, in the production and maintenance of commercial vehicles, simple access is no longer sufficient. What is required are safe, ergonomic workstations tailored to the specific processes in question. - [Customised working platforms for rail vehicle production](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/customised-working-platforms-for-rail-vehicle-production.html): KRAUSE implements a customised solution for ALSTOM Polska in Chorzów Modern rail vehicles place high demands on production, inspection and maintenance. Work on roof areas in particular requires safe, ergonomic access solutions that are precisely tailored to the specific application. KRAUSE has therefore developed two stationary working platforms for ALSTOM Polska S.A., which are being used in the new halls at the Chorzów plant. - [Ladders, folding steps, platforms, crossovers and customised solutions for safe working at height](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/ladders-folding-steps-platforms-crossovers-and-customised-solutions-for-safe-working-at-height.html): In warehousing and logistics environments, it is not just the speed of goods movement that determines a business’s efficiency. It is equally important that staff can access shelving, picking stations, machine areas, loading bays and maintenance points safely, ergonomically and without unnecessary interruptions. Wherever goods are stored, transported, sorted or packed, workstations are regularly set up at different levels. This is precisely where professional access equipment becomes a vital component of operational safety and efficient processes. - [Working safely on the farm, in the fields and on machinery: modern access solutions for the agricultural sector](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/working-safely-on-the-farm-in-the-fields-and-on-machinery-modern-access-solutions-for-the-agricultural-sector.html): Modern agriculture is highly mechanised. Tractors, combine harvesters, telescopic loaders, sowing equipment, sprayers and forage mixers are significantly more powerful, complex and larger than they were just a few years ago. This is also changing the day-to-day workflows on farms. Maintenance points, filling ports, inspection areas, filters, flaps and control elements are often no longer within easy reach. Anyone wishing to work safely and efficiently therefore needs not only modern machinery but also suitable access and working solutions. - [STABILO folding steps from KRAUSE: Compact access equipment for safe working procedures in professional settings](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/stabilo-folding-steps-from-krause-compact-access-equipment-for-safe-working-procedures-in-professional-settings.html): In many workplaces, it is not working at great heights that defines the daily routine, but rather short, repetitive tasks carried out above reach. Tradespeople fit components to walls or ceilings, building cleaners reach glass surfaces, doors or fixtures, and fitters work on machines, systems, shelving or vehicles. It is precisely for such tasks that the right access equipment determines whether work steps can be carried out safely, ergonomically and without unnecessary interruptions. The STABILO folding steps from KRAUSE are designed for these applications. They combine compact dimensions with robust construction, a secure footing and practical handling. The range extends from classic folding steps and folding stairs through to professional steps and working platforms for industrial applications. - [KRAUSE expands its 225 kg range for professional heavy-duty applications](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/krause-expands-its-225-kg-range-for-professional-heavy-duty-applications.html): In professional settings, ladders and folding steps are often subjected to significantly greater strain than during occasional use. In trades, industry, maintenance, building cleaning, warehousing, facility management or assembly work, the user’s body weight is compounded by the load of tools, materials, cleaning equipment or personal protective equipment. To meet these operating conditions, KRAUSE has systematically expanded its range of ladders and steps with a load capacity of up to 225 kg. - [Collective side protection at the roof edge - taking a holistic approach to roof safety](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/collective-side-protection-at-the-roof-edge-taking-a-holistic-approach-to-roof-safety.html): When roofs are accessed regularly – for example, for maintenance, cleaning or inspection work on photovoltaic, air-conditioning or ventilation systems – one issue inevitably comes to the fore: effective protection against falls. However, it is insufficient to view roofs merely as a passive part of the building envelope, as in many places they are in fact regularly used as a work area. In practice, they are often equipped with technical infrastructure, such as PV systems, lightning protection, antennas, skylights or green roofs. This makes them a recurring workplace with its own risk profile. Safety must therefore be planned as a comprehensive system comprising technology, organisation and reliable implementation. - [KRAUSE MONTO folding steps – compact access aids for frequent use](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/krause-monto-folding-steps-compact-access-aids-for-frequent-use.html): Folding steps are compact access aids for working at low heights. With a maximum working height of up to one metre, they bridge the gap between working at floor level and using traditional ladders. They are used wherever safe access, a stable footing and quick availability are more important than great working heights or expansive structures. They really come into their own in the home, for DIY and in trades-related activities. They are ready for use in no time, easy to transport and can be stored in a space-saving manner. - [Engineering at KRAUSE – when solutions arise from processes](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/engineering-at-krause.html): At KRAUSE, every customised solution begins not with a product, but with a question: How do people move through facilities? Where do unnecessary routes arise? Which areas need to be accessed regularly – and how can this be made safe in the long term? At KRAUSE, engineering therefore means, above all, understanding customers and their industrial processes and deriving functional access solutions from this. Design, application engineering and production work closely together in this process.

The anticipation of Christmas grows – and with it the desire to decorate the home for the festive season. But anyone who wants to decorate the Christmas tree, put up fairy lights or arrange Advent decorations in stairwells and entrance areas will quickly realise that these tasks can become unsafe climbing exercises without the right support. This is when the value of a reliable climbing aid becomes apparent. - [On the roof with KRAUSE – Safe climbing systems and fall protection without compromise](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/on-the-roof-with-krause-safe-climbing-systems-and-fall-protection-without-compromise.html): Working on roofs is one of the most dangerous activities in trade, industry and building operations. Whether it's regular maintenance of air conditioning or solar systems, inspection work in facility management or maintenance of production halls – safe access and reliable fall protection are of central importance for occupational safety. Standards and regulations define clear protection priorities. Falls must be prevented, risks minimised and routes and workplaces made permanently safe.

They enable safe working at height, where flexibility and efficiency are required. Whether it's fitters installing ceiling lights, building cleaners maintaining ventilation systems or craftsmen installing drywall, safe and productive everyday work would be almost unthinkable without reliable access technology. KRAUSE has tailored its range of step ladders specifically to these requirements and, with 23 different models in sizes from 2 to 14 steps, offers solutions for various areas of application in the home, hobby, trade and industry. - [Safety at the roof edge – collective side protection with the KRAUSE guardrail system](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/safety-at-the-roof-edge-collective-side-protection-with-the-krause-guardrail-system.html): When accessing a flat roof for maintenance or cleaning work, fall protection must be in place. Photovoltaic modules, air conditioning and ventilation systems are increasingly found on roofs and require regular inspection. Falls from height are among the most common causes of accidents in the workplace. Accordingly, the law stipulates that employees on roofs must be protected by appropriate measures. The most effective protective measure is a fixed railing along the roof edge. Wherever possible, such collective fall protection systems take precedence over individual equipment such as PPE. - [KRAUSE INSPECT Inspection Service – Safety, efficiency and legal certainty from a single source](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/krause-inspect-inspection-service-safety-efficiency-and-legal-certainty-from-a-single-source.html): Companies that use ladders, steps, mobile scaffolding (mobile working platforms) or other technical work equipment have a clear obligation: They must ensure that this equipment is inspected regularly and kept in proper condition. This is based, among other things, on the Industrial Safety Regulation, the DGUV regulations and specific standards such as DIN EN 131. Violations of these requirements can not only lead to dangerous accidents, but also have liability consequences for entrepreneurs and those responsible. The inspections may only be carried out by a ‘qualified person’. However, many companies lack the necessary specialist personnel, or the responsible employees are not permanently available. This is exactly where the KRAUSE INSPECT inspection service comes in. - [KRAUSE ACADEMY – Training, obligations and risks relating to access technology](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/krause-academy-training-obligations-and-risks-relating-to-access-technology.html): Ladders, steps and mobile scaffolding (mobile working platforms) are an integral part of everyday working life in many companies. However, what may seem trivial in daily use can pose considerable dangers if handled improperly. According to the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV), there are actually around 20,000 reportable accidents involving ladders every year. Around ten of these accidents are fatal and one in 16 ladder accidents leads to a permanent reduction in earning capacity. Against this background, the legislator stipulates that ladders, steps, scaffolding and similar climbing equipment must be inspected regularly by a ‘qualified person’. Companies are therefore responsible for ensuring that they have safe work equipment and sufficiently qualified inspection personnel. ‘Qualified persons’ who take on these inspection tasks must be appropriately trained – this is where the KRAUSE ACADEMY comes in with its range of seminars. - [Access technology with R13 slip resistance: products, areas of application and technical classification](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/access-technology-with-r13-slip-resistance-products-areas-of-application-and-technical-classification.html): In professional access technology, slip resistance is not a ‘nice-to-have’ feature, but a safety-related product characteristic that has a direct impact on accident prevention, work quality and cost-effectiveness. The R13 classification denotes the highest level of slip resistance and ensures a secure footing even in damp conditions or on dirty or oily surfaces. - [KRAUSE at A+A 2025 – Focus on innovative access technology](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/krause-at-a-a-2025-focus-on-innovative-access-technology.html): When the biennial A+A trade fair opens its doors in Düsseldorf on 4 November 2025, international experts will once again gather to experience the latest developments in occupational safety, security and health.

Moisture, frost and snowfall cause massive sheets of ice to form on truck tarpaulins and vehicle roofs within a matter of hours. Even a few centimetres of frozen water can break loose while driving and hit following vehicles with enormous force. Every year, the police and testing organisations issue urgent warnings about the consequences: shattered windscreens, serious accidents and, in some cases, life-threatening injuries. For companies in the transport industry, this not only poses a safety risk, but also potential liability and reputational damage. - [Work safely with safety accessories from KRAUSE](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/work-safely-with-safety-accessories-from-krause.html): Working at height has always been associated with particular risks. A ladder can be set up quickly, but just as quickly a hazard can arise if it is not stable, the tools cannot be stored safely or the ground gives way. In both commercial and private settings, the same rule applies: Safety must not be left to chance. KRAUSE, synonymous with reliable access technology for generations, has developed a range of accessories that systematically reduce these risks. Individual aids are combined to form a comprehensive concept that makes work safer, more comfortable and more efficient – whether on the construction site, in the workshop or in your own garden or household. - [Access solutions for painters, varnishers and decorators – specially tailored to KRAUSE access technology](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/access-solutions-for-painters-varnishers-and-decorators-specially-tailored-to-krause-access-technology.html): In hardly any other trade is a secure footing at lofty heights as important as it is for painters, varnishers and wallpaperers. Whether ceiling surfaces, high wall sections, facades or stairways – they all require reliable, comfortable and standard-compliant access technology. KRAUSE offers a comprehensive range of products for this purpose, tailored to the special requirements of this trade. - [Increase productivity – preserve safety](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/increase-productivity-preserve-safety.html): How KRAUSE system solutions optimise manufacturing processes and make workplaces safer.

The approach is consistently practice-oriented: proven system components are used to create custom-fit climbing aids that can be adapted to terrain, traffic routes, container geometries and work processes. - [Maintenance on the bus roof: How KRAUSE harmonises safety and efficiency with a new work platform](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/maintenance-on-the-bus-roof-how-krause-harmonises-safety-and-efficiency-with-a-new-work-platform.html): When city buses or coaches come into the workshop for maintenance, it's not just components in the vehicle underbody that are affected. Many technical systems are located on the roof: air conditioning systems, ventilation units, control technology, solar panels or aerials require regular visual inspections, repairs or replacement. For workshop personnel, this means recurring work at great heights, often under time pressure and with heavy tools - a dangerous combination if no suitable access solution is available. This is exactly where the new, standardised and height-adjustable mobile working platform with rail cage from KRAUSE comes in, which was specially developed for this purpose. - [Systematic access to heights: KRAUSE's comprehensive range of mobile scaffolding](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/systematic-access-to-heights-krauses-comprehensive-range-of-mobile-scaffolding.html): Mobile scaffolds, also known as mobile work platforms, are indispensable aids for safe and efficient work at height.

Depending on the intended use, different solutions are required that combine safety, flexibility and ergonomics. In addition to ladders, which are still indispensable in many areas, customised platform and special solutions are becoming increasingly important - especially when specific heights, vehicle contours or changing locations need to be taken into account. KRAUSE offers practice-orientated, individually configurable system solutions for these requirements, which have been tried and tested for many years in a wide range of industries. - [Well positioned: How modern access technology is changing everyday work in agriculture](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/well-positioned-how-modern-access-technology-is-changing-everyday-work-in-agriculture.html): Anyone who regularly works with large agricultural machinery knows the challenges. The seed hopper can be checked quickly, a hydraulic hose replaced quickly and the air filter on the combine harvester cleaned in just a few minutes - at least in theory. In practice, however, this often means climbing up, balancing, holding the tool with one hand, checking the view at the same time and hoping that the foot doesn't slip. In the past, many jobs could still be done from the ground. However, with the growth and increasing complexity of modern agricultural machinery, this is hardly possible today. If you want to reach filler openings, controls or attachments, you have to go up into the air, often in unsafe areas. Improvised access via tyres, axles or attachments is not only uncomfortable, but also carries a high risk of accidents. Slippery surfaces, a lack of handholds and unsuitable footholds can quickly lead to falls with serious consequences. This not only jeopardises your own health, but also the safety of the entire farm. - [Flexible access technology solutions for industry: Rethinking safety and efficiency with KRAUSE](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/flexible-access-technology-solutions-for-industry-rethinking-safety-and-efficiency-with-krause.html): In industrial and production plants, efficiency is often the key to economic success. Nevertheless, delays in the operating process are not uncommon - for example, when machines can only be reached via improvised or temporary access aids, resulting in safety risks. Bypassing obstacles such as conveyor belts or pipework also unnecessarily lengthens routes and costs valuable time. Maintenance work on vehicles or large systems becomes a challenge if no suitable work platforms are available. At the same time, rigid access systems that cannot be adapted to changing production conditions quickly lead to expensive new purchases. The sum of these everyday problems affects not only safety but also productivity, and yet they are avoidable. - [TRBS 2121-2: Work safely and in compliance with regulations with KRAUSE](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/trbs-2121-2-work-safely-and-in-compliance-with-regulations-with-krause.html): Many users are unaware of their obligations and risk more than they think. The safe handling of ladders is one of the key challenges on construction sites, in trade businesses and in industry and facility management. What many users don't realise: The Technical Rule for Operational Safety TRBS 2121-2 fundamentally changed the rules for the professional use of ladders back in 2018. However, even years after it came into force, there is still a lot of uncertainty - sometimes due to ignorance, sometimes due to habit and often due to incorrect risk assessment. - [KRAUSE: More safety and efficiency through training, seminars, inspection and digitalisation](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/krause-more-safety-and-efficiency-through-training-seminars-inspection-and-digitalisation.html): How companies manage their work equipment in a legally compliant and efficient manner - with training and seminars, inspection services and digital support from KRAUSE. - [Working safely in spring in big heights with KRAUSE mobile scaffolds](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/working-safely-in-spring-in-big-heights-with-krause-mobile-scaffolds.html): When outdoor construction and maintenance work is due in spring, the focus shifts back to working at great heights.

According to the amendments of TRBS 2121-2, ladders that are used both as a traffic route (ascent to higher levels) and as a workplace (standing on the ladder during work) must be equipped with steps instead of rungs.

This not only takes time and energy, but also increases the risk of accidents. - [DIN EN 1004-1 – the new standard for mobile scaffold towers – key points at a glance](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/din-en-1004-1-the-new-standard-for-mobile-scaffold-towers-key-points-at-a-glance.html): Accidents involving mobile scaffold towers on construction sites and at home have been steadily on the rise for some time. These accidents happen just as often during a towers’ assembly and disassembly as they do during use. Therefore, DIN EN 1004, the standard governing these scaffolds, has been reviewed again in recent months as scheduled and will be leading to some fundamental changes to mobile scaffold towers when it comes into effect on 01.12.2021. Apart from an extension of its scope, the new version also includes essential changes to such towers assembly and structural design. The aim of this review was to make mobile scaffold towers safer for users. This is why one of the standard’s most fundamental changes is that guardrails and braces will henceforth have to be fitted from the platform below, and the first platform always fitted from the ground. Alternatively, guardrails and braces can also be fitted by reaching through the open hatch in the platform. However, KRAUSE does not consider this method safe and does not recommend this approach for any of its scaffolds. Hence, all of KRAUSE’s mobile scaffolds are designed in such a way that the guardrails can always be fitted from the level below. - [The cold season is here: Staying safe with KRAUSE’s Original Ice Clearing System for Lorries](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/the-cold-season-is-here.html): In the winter, it generally doesn't take much in terms of low temperatures for a layer of ice or snow to form on lorry roofs when they are standing still or parked overnight. This tends to give rise to a number of hazards while travelling on the road. Ice and snow dropping onto nearby vehicles is one of them and can causes serious accidents. The same applies to branches and excessive amounts of leaves left on top of lorry roofs. This is why every driver has a duty to remove ice and snow from the roof of their vehicle before driving off. Ultimately, they will also be responsible and held liable for any accidents and damage caused by objects falling from their vehicle’s roof. Vehicle fleet managers also have a duty to instruct and inform their drivers of these hazards and responsibilities. Cleaning the roofs of large vehicles like lorries and buses during poor weather conditions in the autumn and winter in particular can be rather difficult. This is why the long-established manufacturer KRAUSE developed a special solution – the Original KRAUSE Ice Clearing System – a number of years ago. This system is suitable for use throughout the year and designed to provide efficient and safe access to vehicle roofs. - [KRAUSE Safety Accessories – innovative solutions for your safety](https://www.krause-systems.co.uk/company/krause-news/detail/krause-safety-accessories.html): No matter where you go, whether in our professional lives or own four walls, there will always be ladders, steps and scaffolds of sorts in use.
