Prevent accidents in the loading b
March 1st 2010 According to Thorworld Industries,
investing in a few simple safety
measures around the loading bay
could safeguard both personnel and
equipment, reducing accidents, and
thus avoiding
any possible
costly personal
injury claims, as
well as saving
on expensive
repair bills and
disruptive
downtime.
The company offers a full range of
safety aids and accessories, designed
to provide a safer,more productive
working environment and to help
fulfil some of the statutory health and
safety obligations, where failure to
comply could lead to a serious fine.
John Meale, MD of Thorworld,
said: "With ever more stringent
requirements it makes sense to
implement a positive health and
safety programme.
Failure to provide
employees with a safe
working environment
can result in personnel
accidents, with possible
personal injury claims,
and equipment damage,
as well as leading to
fines of up to £20,000 and even a jail
sentence – so cutting corners on
safety could prove extremely costly in
more ways than one." More articles from Thorworld Industries: |
