A tidy up in time for winter is the key to preventing trips, slips and falls, say workplace safety experts.
That’s the advice from the team at Contact Attachments who have been working to improve workplace safety for more than four decades.
Alongside their extensive selection of forklift truck attachments, the company – based in Newtown, Mid Wales – offers a range of yard cleaning equipment, which is especially vital in the autumn and winter months. Dave Manuel, Technical Sales Director at Contact Attachments, said: “With autumn in full swing, there are lots of leaves underfoot and other hazards which could be a problem for companies, especially if they are not cleared before frost sets in during the colder season.
“We always advise keeping yards and other workspaces as clean as possible, but it’s especially important for businesses to think about employee safety around this time of year.”
The equipment on offer includes medium duty forklift sweepers which fit to the front of forklifts and allow the quick and easy sweeping of debris including leaves, and rotary hydraulic sweepers designed for general factory, yard or road sweeping.
For companies working with smaller metal parts such as nails, nuts and bolts which may be hazardous if left underfoot, a forklift magnetic sweeper is the ideal solution, while the forklift yard scraper pushes waste to a point where it can be swept up – and can also be used indoors too.
Contact Attachments design and manufacture forklift truck attachments and other essential products for a wide variety of industries including the construction, food and drink, environmental and agricultural sectors.
