Free site safety pack
February 1st 2008

A-Plant's new Setting the Safety Standard campaign aims to provide information and solutions to meet current and future safety legislation and will be featured for the first time at Health & Safety 08.

Also on show will be a new version of the company's Site Safety Pack, which forms part of its Setting the Safety Standard campaign and will be distributed free-of-charge at the show.

A 60-page handbook is incorporated, which provides information on a range of subjects – from Hand Arm Vibration safety and working in confined spaces to manual handling and safe use of access scaffolds and ladders.

The pack also contains a dust supplement detailing the reduced Workplace Exposure Limits (WELs) for Respirable Crystalline Silica.

A-Plant offers dust extraction and suppression equipment to help companies meet the reduced WELs.
