SafeStand Going Green

16th September 2021

As we all look more closely at our operations and how we can streamline while pursuing a reduction in our carbon footprint, SafeStand ® have done it again. Having upgraded all our vehicles to Euro 6 engines over the last few years we have turned our attention onto the warehouse operations.

We are proud to announce that we have purchased an electric JCB TLT 35-22E forklift and have retired our old faithful diesel forklift.  The JCB TLT 35-22E will reduce noise levels when operating within the confines of our warehouse as well as drive down our carbon emissions. We have been using this forklift for the past two weeks and have seen noise levels drop significantly, whist also generating zero exhaust emissions.

Newsletter 14 – SafeStand® Triple Guardrail

Following a request from MACE (“Global experts in shaping the built environment – helping to lead the way to a more connected, resilient and sustainable world”) to investigate the possibility of adding a third guardrail at a height of 1500mm above the platform to SafeStand® Access Systems; we jumped at the opportunity to work with MACE to come up with a solution.

As a requirement of their SFSN (Safety First Second Nature) Standards for Mace Commercial Office and Residential, MACE are actively pushing ahead with a Minimum 1.5m high, triple handrail standard across all Work at Height Edge Protection.

Safestand have now completed a design, testing and on-site trials of an add on to our standard 5 Board wide systems that allows the installation of a third guardrail at 1500mm above platform whilst maintaining the SafeStand ethos of “Simplicity In Use”

We worked closely with a number of MACE personnel and with one of their supply chain partners, RI Works Ltd, to develop the Triple Guardrail solution.

“This all sounds really positive and I really like the positivity and drive towards developing this new innovation” – Matthew Lovett MCIOB, Construction Manager, MACE

FORS Silver & Bronze Accreditation

FORS Silver & Bronze Accreditation

21st January 2021

SafeStand® Ltd have been a member of the Fleet Operators Recognition Scheme (FORS) since 2013. By joining the FORS scheme it has helped us make the roads safer, cleaner and less congested. For vehicle operators, it offers peace of mind that they are meeting their legislative requirements, as well as helping to increase efficiency, reduce costs, pollution and noise while striving to minimise road risk and environmental impacts.

Towards the end of 2020 we had both our FORS Silver and Bronze accreditations up for renewal. This process requires all our vehicles, fleet company policies and procedures to be audited to the new version 5.1 FORS Standard. We can proudly say that we have achieved reapproval for both the FORS Sliver and Bronze accreditations. We will continue to raise our levels in fleet operations as we strive to meet best practice in safety, efficiency and environmental protection while transporting our goods across the UK.
