As mast climbing work platforms become more prevalent in North America's construction industry, additional attention needs to be paid to this technology's proper use. In fact, because of concerns regarding the misuse of the machines, the industry is currently looking for standards to make sure that operators use this access equipment in a safe manner.
Hydro Mobile did not wait for standards to be elaborated and has already set his own. A pioneer in the North American market of mast climbers, Hydro Mobile is also considered a precursor when it comes to training and safety issues by developing a training program and a certification process for workers operating its platforms in the 1990s.
