Description
The Terrain Master was designed by necessity to provide a greater margin of safety to those working at heights. In 2010–11, 29 workers died following a fall from height. In the same time period, 7730 claims for serious injury were lodged due to a fall from a height. A typical falls-related claim in 2010–11 involved 6.2 weeks off work.

The Terrain Master has the potential to change the face of height safety, as it provides safe and sure footing for a Branach extension ladder or a Branach safety step platform. It extends the footprint to 3 times its natural base and levels the ladder hence reducing the significant workplace hazards of working on uneven terrain.
