Safety & Protective Equipment
Safety and Protective Equipment Safety is an important aspect in the design of tools and equipment for the workman. Everything from dust extractors, vibration controls to non-slip treads on ladders and towers. Hazardous moving parts of a power tool need to be safeguarded. For example, belts, gears, shafts, pulleys, sprockets, spindles, drums, fly wheels, chains, or other reciprocating, rotating, or moving parts of equipment must be guarded if such parts are exposed to contact by employees. The Power Tool Institute offers advice on the safe use of power tools and works with various agencies to encourage high safety standards in the manufacture of power tools. Well-designed tools are safer to use resulting in good job performance Safe storage of tools is also important and many companies provide a range of locks, locking cabinets and secure storage units, fastenings and security
equipment such as CCTV. Employers also have duties concerning the provision and use of personal protective equipment at work, equipment that will protect the user against
health or safety risks. It can include items such as safety helmets, gloves, eye protection, high-visibility clothing, safety footwear and safety harnesses. It also includes respiratory protective equipment (RPE). It is important that safety equipment is well designed and comfortable to use. If not there is always the danger that the employee will take risks rather than use or wear the equipment.

ABUS CCTV Range Has
Performance “Designed In” The lingering myth that CCTV is somehow ineffective in fighting crime was laid to rest in the months following the UK riots of 2011. By February 2012 a total of 3,000 people had been successfully prosecuted and the officer in charge of the operation, Detective Chief Superintendent Greany, has stated that 2,200 of those prosecutions would not have been possible without video evidence. It’s not only in such extreme circumstances that CCTV is effective. To take just
one example, Hambleton District Council, along with Ryedale, Leeds, Kirklees and Hull, claims CCTV has played a part in more than 15,000 arrests over the past three years (source: Yorkshire Post). But it’s not just the police who can benefit from a quality CCTV system. A new
wave of CCTV cameras now available specifically for home and small office use are now putting high-end technology in the hands of home owners and businesses. These ‘plug & play’ kits operate straight out of the box without the need for
costly installations making them ideal for the home user. ABUS TVAC16000, with its wireless ‘plug & play’ weatherproof camera, can be fitted in any location, allowing you to monitor your home, office, warehouse or holiday home, even via your mobile phone, iPad or laptop. The camera is pre-synced to a 7” LCD colour monitor with intuitive touchscreen controls, and ABUS’ bespoke Android and Apple apps mean you can monitor what’s happening in your home or office, 24
hours a day, wherever you are in the world. With encrypted transmission the TVAC16000 records to an SD card. The superb level of picture
quality is a far cry from the fuzzy CCTV video of old, massively increasing the chances of being able to observe, recognise and identify perpetrators. The Home Office advice on CCTV usages states that “Performance has to be designed in and cannot be taken for granted”. With its new line of CCTV systems, ABUS has “designed in” an impressive range of high- end security features - and
absolutely nothing has been taken for granted. Anyone who’s serious about their personal and business security should take a close look at
what the ABUS CCTV range has to offer. In addition think how these out of the box security solutions can help you manage your own retail footfall.
