01 Workplace Safety Workplace Safety With over 1.2 million people last year suffering from a work related injury in the UK, implementing sufficient protective and preventative equipment has never been more integral to the survival and success of businesses. Workplace safety is a category that covers the safety equipment requirements of five key areas. These areas are; water based work, work that involves the handling of hazardous liquids that can cause large spills, road maintenance, work that poses a potential fire risk and a varied selection of basic workplace safety equipment for all professions. Current workplace safety regulations stipulate that all employees be appropriately protected when in their working environment, whatever that may be. In this section we provide a variety of different equipment and accessories to assist in the safe operation in the five key areas above. Whatever the size of the team, whatever the location, whatever the time, Tower strives to defend your team from the accidents and incidents that may befall them in an average working day. If your profession takes you onto large bodies of water, such as lakes, oceans and fast flowing rivers, it is advised that you protect yourself from the risk of immersion and drowning. We stock a range of life jackets, rescue lines and life buoy’s, ideal for the rapid retrieval of an overboard party or the prevention of hypothermia. For those who handle liquids, oils and chemicals and face the hazard of spilling, it is preferable that the employer provides a spill management kit. In the likely event of a spill, the liquid will need to be absorbed and plugged to contain any spreading of a potentially hazardous fluid. We provide a range of spill kits (in bins and cases), oil drum spill pallets, general and chemical absorbent stations, plug ‘n’ dike putty, PU reusable drain covers, matting, absorbent socks, pervious booms, absorbent granules and liquid permeable sheets. Everything you need to contain and safely clean a liquid spill can be found at Tower. Perfect for those in busy warehouses, hospitals, laboratories and any place that handles chemicals and oils. All our equipment is designed for rapid deployment and easy application, preventing any further hazards of slips or dermatological contact from an inefficiently cleaned and potentially dangerous surface. When working in road maintenance or the public construction industry, personal safety on the road is imperative. Improved visibility and highlighting effected areas of tarmac is crucial to the prevention of personal and public accidents. All our road cones comply with the current legal requirements of 40% reflective sleeve coverage with 10% red cone shown beneath the sleeve and 25% above. This legislation, although specific, ensures that the cone provides the maximum level of visibility, keeping workers and delicate projects safe.Every working environment requires a form of fire safety precautions, from offices to building sites, leisure centres to retail spaces, fire is a risk that can face anyone, anywhere at any time and legal compliance is essential. Our range of gas air horns, extinguishers, fire blankets and extinguisher storage solutions, are ideal for those looking to increase their protection levels or replace existing products.
