Could buy 1200 x 2400mm Osb board and cut to 600mm widths or even 400mm width. Would be cheaper and easy to do with a circular saw.

Consider raising access path over joist to maintain depth of insulation (250mm min IMO) Might use 100 x 50mm fixed perpendicular to joists, screw fix. It should be possible to maintain at least 250mm insulation, using this method.

There are 2400 x 600 sheets of OSB board available for sale from all local building supplier stores. The sheets aren't terrible expensive, are known as loft boards and because of there slim width are easy to get into an attic.
