‘Don’t Cut Corners With Equipment Servicing’ Warn Health And Safety Experts
Last year The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) launched a campaign to warn employers to make sure that risk assessments were in place for the proper maintenance of all equipment following a number of prosecutions in 2008.
Mark Haylett from Total Protection (UK) who offer breathing apparatus, Confined Space Equipment, Gas Detection and height safetyequipment, said, “ At Total Protection (UK) we understand the importance of safety equipment being in perfect working order prior to use and therefore our customers can be rest assured that there is full traceability on all of our equipment. It is essential that companies have services in place to ensure that their equipment is fully looked after and do not have to go to several companies for equipment servicing. So many workplace accidents could be prevented if health and safety equipment was fully serviced & inspected, and finding reliable companies that provide a complete service is often like finding a needle in the proverbial haystack.”
A growing trend seems to be emerging where many health and safety equipment providers, are selling brand new equipment and leaving their customers to their own devices. Total Protection (UK) believes that it is essential to provide customers with a fully rounded service that contributes greatly towards customer relations.
The Total Protection (UK) service team, work on realistic turnaround times with their expertise in the repair, service and calibration of safety equipment, Service Manager Lee Sargent said, “Our customers will always receive the highest quality of service and we adhere to all manufacturer and HSE legislation concerning safety equipment. Our fully trained engineers and excellent manufacturer relationships enable us to provide a prompt turnaround on calibration, service and repair as well as competitive rates on all safety equipment supplied.”
At Total Protection UK, all of their engineers are regularly trained by manufacturers as new products are introduced or upgraded and it is this commitment to training ensures the highest standards of workmanship at all times.
Mr Haylett added, “We recognise that time spent without vital equipment is very unproductive for the workforce and this is why we can offer a discounted hire package. Our standard turnaround time is 48 hours depending on which equipment it is and what work needs carrying out. For customers with a number of similar items, we suggest using our on-site service facility - our engineers are equipped to service, test and calibrate the majority of equipment on your own site – again minimising downtime. ”
