Abstract

This invention addresses safety issues arising during the construction of buildings, through providing a portable platform designed to temporarily cover potentially hazardous stairwell openings, and thus prevent accidents during construction work. The platform itself comprises an access hatch that may be readily opened and closed depending on respective access and safety requirements. The present invention aims to overcome problems associated with current stairwell covering techniques, including the considerable inconvenience and costly wastage of materials so conferred.

Description

DISCRIIPOTION OF SAFE-WELL
Safe-well is a working platform with an access hatch to allow access to other floors during construction.
This platform is to cover the stairwell opening to prevent accidents during the construction process of a building creating a safe working environment for employees.
This platform can easily take the weight of three men to work on it.
The safe-well platform is very light and very quick and easy to flt and remove.
The current method of protecting stairwells is to temporarily joists and floor the stairwell opening this is very time consuming and costly process also creates a lot waste materials which have to be disposed of this method reflects on the waste management of a construction company as they are always trying to reduce waste and costs.
