Taking charge

GNB offers factories and
warehouses that use traction
batteries a dedicated ‘Health and
Safety Station’ which can be wallmounted
in the charger room. It
contains equipment to help protect
workers as well as emergency items
for use in the event of an accident.

The purpose-designed station
contains essential clothing and
equipment for use during main –
tenance and topping off operations,
such as rubber gloves, face visor,
breathing masks, eyewash and soda
ash to neutralise acid spills. One
safety station is recommended for up
to 20 batteries in a charging area.

GNB can also advise managers on
their obligations towards employee
safety in the charger room, as well as
offering free posters on correct
working practices.
