The milestone has been hailed as a major safety achievement for the UK scaffolding firm.
Palmers Scaffolding UK Limited has passed a major health and safety milestone after clocking more than one million man-hours without a single lost time incident.
The achievement, confirmed at the end of May, has been described as a powerful reflection of the company’s safety-first culture and its workforce’s commitment to best practice.
Michael Carr, CEO of Palmers Scaffolding UK, praised staff across the business, saying:
“This is more than just a number—it’s a reflection of the professionalism, vigilance and teamwork that defines Palmers. Safety is not just a policy here, it’s part of our culture.”
The milestone comes as the company continues to operate across a range of high-risk sectors, including energy, infrastructure, and industrial projects.
Palmers says the result stems from three core pillars: Ongoing training and clear communication, Accountability at every level of the organisation and A shared responsibility among colleagues to look out for one another
In a statement on LinkedIn, the company said: “To every person who plays a role in keeping our operations safe, thank you. Your efforts make this achievement possible.”
The one-million-hour milestone is considered a benchmark in the industry and underlines Palmer’s reputation for delivering complex scaffolding solutions while maintaining high safety standards.
The firm said it remains committed to continuous improvement and aims to build on the achievement in the months ahead.
