Case Study: Simulator Access Platform for U.S. Army Facility

Project Details

The Safe Access Platform pictured here is stationed at a U.S. Army facility. Terry, a simulation expert for the U.S. Army, reached out to Simplified Safety to find a solution to access the top of a simulator for testing products. Before the above platform was installed, a worker would attach their harness to an overhead horizontal lifeline and utilize a step ladder to reach the top of the simulator. The pit below the simulator would get rather slippery, so they wanted a way to access the simulator without the need to enter the pit.

This is where Simplified Safety was able to provide a custom platform to provides safe access to the top of the simulator. The platform includes stairs to access the top of the simulator from the main floor level to avoid the slippery surface in the pit. The platform is OSHA compliant and makes accessing the simulator safe and easy. The platform also features a drop down bridge to span the gap between the platform and the simulator.
