Prevent accidents in the loading bay

According to Thorworld Industries, investing in a few simple safety measures around the loading bay could safeguard both personnel and equipment, reducing accidents, and thus avoiding any possible costly personal injury claims, as well as saving on expensive repair bills and disruptive downtime.

The company offers a full range of safety aids and accessories, designed to provide a safer,more productive working environment and to help fulfil some of the statutory health and safety obligations, where failure to comply could lead to a serious fine.

John Meale, MD of Thorworld, said: "With ever more stringent requirements it makes sense to implement a positive health and safety programme.

Failure to provide employees with a safe working environment can result in personnel accidents, with possible personal injury claims, and equipment damage, as well as leading to fines of up to £20,000 and even a jail sentence - so cutting corners on safety could prove extremely costly in more ways than one."
