Heathrow Decorate for Christmas With SLG Lifting Gear

robin General News

In the run up to Christmas, Heathrow Airport uploaded this lovely time-lapse video, which shows the step by step process of their Christmas vision coming to life! From hanging orbs to giant Christmas trees, this video reveals how the team behind these beautiful decorations put everything together, to create a wonderful display for the holiday season.

To view the video, click below:

Having watched the video, you will have noticed that this scale of Christmas decorating requires a lot more than your standard step ladder to put a plan into action! A large scale operation such as this requires a whole host of equipment to achieve the desired result, and we are proud to say that the lifting gear in this video was in fact, provided by our West London depot!

From the LoadSurfer material lift to pallet trucks and safety harnesses, SafetyLiftinGear supplied a range of items for the project, in order to help the team at Heathrow put their display together safely. It's great to be able to put our name to such an incredible project, and we are also very pleased to be able to share a more light-hearted safety gear story with you!

Children's Climbing Equipment

mike Products

Climbing can be a great pastime for children, especially as it's a fun and adventurous way to stay active and learn a new skill. If your little one is going to be trying this out, or undertaking another activity which involves potentially hazardous heights, then it's essential that they are provided with the correct safety equipment.

Here at SafetyLiftinGear, we provide a range of children's climbing equipment, which is tailored specifically to suit very small body shapes. Our harnesses are suitable for children ages 4-9, and consist of a full body strap design, which is necessary for young children who do not have well-defined hips. In addition to our harnesses, we also stock a range of helmets as part of our children's climbing equipment range, which fit a size 48cm-56cm head.

To view all of the children's climbing equipment we stock here at SafetyLiftinGear, click here. If you can't find what you're looking for, or if you're trying to find items to fit an older child, feel free to get in touch with us, or take a look at our main safety harness range.

The Importance of Good Quality Height Safety Equipment

robin Health & Safety

Recently a news story came to our attention, which brought home how essential the service we provide truly is. This story concerned the death of a 59 year old dock worker, who was tragically killed when supervising the loading of large steel pipes onto a ship in Hartlepool. The worker lost his footing, leading to a fall which ended with him landing on the steel floor of the ship's hold, killing him outright.

Since then, the operator has pleaded guilty to a breach of the Health and Safety Work Act, which confirms the sad reality that this fatal mishap could have been prevented if proper health and safety equipment had been used. While there is an ongoing dispute in the courts concerning the use of soft landing systems, we can't help but think that this is a fairly weak solution.

The best way to prevent an accident or fatality as a result of working at height, is by using the correct height safety equipment - why reduce the impact of a fall when you could prevent it altogether? This is why SafetyLiftinGear stock a comprehensive selection of height safety kits, designed to offer the maximum level of protection.

Don't allow a tragedy like this to happen in your workplace! If you're concerned that you're not using the correct height safety equipment, or would like advice on choosing the right products, call our expert customer service team on 0808 132 6969, or send an email to sales@safetylifingear.com.
