Scafftag can provide a complete solution for any type of industrial vehicle

Scafftag helps manage workplace transport risk
September 20th 2006

In 2005, 60 workers were killed and 1850 more were seriously injured as a result of incidents involving workplace vehicles. It is therefore a welcome step that the Health and Safety

Executive (HSE) is currently developing its Managing Workplace Transport Risk ‘Route Map’ – published management standards for the safe operation of workplace transport.

Scafftag systems can contribute significantly in achieving these standards. Forkliftag, for example, is a holder and insert system with an easy to use checklist to be completed at the start of each shift. If any element is under query or fails inspection, the insert is removed instantly displaying ‘Do Not Use’.

A FREE Forklift inspection poster is available, too, for quick reference guidance on crucial inspection points. The system can be customised for individual requirements, and companies who have adopted the system include Anheuser-Busch, Cadbury, Sainsbury, British Energy Group and Unilever.

Forkliftag is compatible with the electronic Safetrak system which uses a hand-held device to record inspection data, which can then be downloaded to a desk top computer for instant access to full inspection reports. This too can be customised for individual needs.

For a paper based alternative, The Black Book contains step-by-step guidance on safety and maintenance requirements and risk assessments, and all the necessary documents you need to set up your own inspection management system.

Scafftag can provide a complete solution for any type of industrial vehicle – for more information and for your free poster call 01446 725 300.
