Putting safe-t first
Jewson is rolling out a new health and safety system across its fleet of heavy commercial vehicles.
By the end of 2014, the merchant will have installed up to 450 vehicles with a Drop Side Fall Restraint System and a bulk bag grab nip Safety System, for use when loading and making deliveries.
The Dropside Fall Restraint System, called Safe-T-Drop, acts as a barrier on both sides and rear of the vehicle.
This ensures drivers can access the load-space on the vehicle safely and securely, preventing any accidental falls.
It can be easily removed once the delivery is complete.
An improved crane bulk bag grab system also means that a delivery can be made without the driver getting onto the vehicle bed – reducing any unnecessary risk.
