We make it a condition of any contract between us that people employed in manual work involving lifting of heavy boxes or other equipment shall be of a competent level of training in the method of lifting. They must also wear suitable footwear to protect them from dropped items.
Working at Heights
We make it a condition of any contract between us that where you have employees working at heights you must ensure that they have the necessary training and equipment to carry out their job safely.
