Worksite cuts and abrasions are just a few minor injuries workers can sustain on a worksite due to falling or flying objects, much serious injuries includes concussion, blindness, and even death.
Working at height, beneath scaffolds or areas where overhead work is being performed puts workers and the public below at risk from falling (dropped) objects. (Read More)
Confined Space Entry Protection / Manhole Protection Barrier
Manholes, crawl spaifns, tunnels, sewers, tanks, pipelines and trenches, all have one thing in common, they are enclosed or partially enclosed and are refer to as confined spaces.
These confined spaces are not intended for continuous occupancy, why? If people work in a confined space, they could face life-threatening hazards such as toxic substances, electrocutions, explosions and asphyxiation, (Read More)

Hot Work In Explosive Atmospheres
Ineffective management of combustible materials in a high risk environment presents numerous health and safety risks with significant consequences.
Using ‘hot’ tools to carry out cutting, soldering or welding in a hazardous area increases the risk of fire, or even worse, an explosion. One of the many causes of explosive atmospheres is the presence of flammable gases. In large enough quantities, flammable gases mixed with air and the presence of an (Read More)
