Health & Safety

At PHD, prioritising health, safety, and the environment is paramount. Our mantra, “Safety By Choice, Not by Chance,” resonates deeply within every corner of our company, from our dedicated office staff to our hardworking operatives on-site. We are committed to ensuring that every aspect of our operations reflects this ethos, safeguarding our team, our communities, and the environment we all share.

Visual Standards for Construction Site Practices

The scaffolding industry has long been defined by its intricate rules and regulations. From induction procedures to scaffold tag displays, toe boards, bridge guards, and manual handling techniques, the complexities can sometimes overshadow the paramount need for safety and adherence.


Recognizing this challenge, PHD Access has revolutionized the sector with the Visual Standards for Construction Site Practices booklet; the first of its kind in the scaffolding industry.

VR-isionary Step Forward

We are excited to introduce our cutting-edge VR Visual Standards Game. This immersive experience takes learning to a whole new level, allowing professionals to step into a virtual construction site and practice the standards they’ve learned.

It’s an engaging, hands-on approach to reinforcing safety protocols and best practices.


It’s so good, we’ve offered the game to the NASC to use for their events.
