FASET Platform Training

FASET Platform Installer Course

Platform decking systems are becoming the most popular way of dealing with height safety issues for those carrying out work activities in high fall risk areas, typically roofers and flooring contractors. They provide fall prevention and a safe working platform, therefore enabling the end user to work in complete safety without the risk of falling from height.

FASET Platform Decking Managers Course

The FASET Platform Decking Managers Course is for the site manager. Understanding the limitations of individual systems is key to managing the decking systems on-site. Consequently, it will enable site managers to inspect platform decking systems and manage their use on-site.

What our clients think

Phil Smith, Plant Manager, Domis Construction

We are delighted to work with G&M Safe Deck to create our own decking. Being able to produce their own system in our company colours and apply our brand was really important to us to enable us to raise our own brand awareness on site. The process was simple and working with the G&M team was an enjoyable experience.

Jake Iles, Health & Safety Advisor, Gleeson Homes

Making the move from our previous fall protection method of soft landing bags over to safety decking was made so much easier by the guidance and assistance from the team at G&M.  It’s great to be able to pick up the phone and speak with a familiar face who understands the company’s needs as opposed to having to deal with different people on a regular basis. As a result we have a good working relationship with G&M, and an robust decking system in place on site.
