Once again, a demolition company from Nottingham has been fined for breeching height safety procedures, for allowing their employees to work on a roof without any fall prevention measures in place. 

Every day we check the news in the world of health and safety, and find it staggering how many companies are willing to disregard the safety of their employees. Luckily, this case did not lead to a fatal accident or serious injury, but this most certainly could have been the case if the issue had been left undetected. 

The company in question were removing tiles from a steep roof without any form of PPE or fall arrest equipment, which meant that the individuals could have come to serious harm, had they fallen and slipped whilst carrying out the work. Those responsible were fined £6,000 by the courts, and were ordered to pay £765 in costs, although the financial debt is nothing compared to the guilt they would have had to endure if something had gone wrong.

Whether it's in the form of bank note, or worse, the life of an unsuspecting worker, those who ignore height safety will have to pay out eventually. That's why it's important to invest in proper height safety gear, to save money and lives, as well as securing your company's reputation.

Today is an exciting day as we introduce the LoadSurfer EPT15! The EPT15 is our economical semi-electric pallet truck.

The EPT15 features a compact and light design, and can transport up to 1500kg, or 1.5 Tonnes, making it the ideal pallet truck for warehouses, factories, and even delivery yards, where the timely transportation of often heavy pallets is essential.

This pallet truck even features a lifting and lowering mechanism making it easier to transport pallets of differing sizes and help to easily stack the transported pallets at the end of their journey.

This pallet truck truly is one of the best quality electric pallet trucks we have stocked here at SafetyLiftinGear. To ensure product longevity and that it consistently performs at its best, please use  on a smooth, flat surface that doesn't contain any potholes or any obstacles, and, as with any pallet truck, avoid using the EPT15 on a ramp or uneven surfaces as this can cause the load to become unbalanced, or unsecured and could potentially cause an accident.   

Here at SafetyLiftinGear, we have made this top quality pallet truck available for purchase, or for hire. To hire this product, simply navigate to the product page, which you can find here, click the blue “hire me” button to add this product to your hire basket and then follow the on screen instructions.

If you have any questions about the EDT15 or any of the pallet trucks in our extensive range, then please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
