Tensator safety post sales reach new height

MILTON KEYNES, UK, 3 June 2013 – Tensator, the leading manufacturer of safety barriers, is seeing increased interest in its products designed to protect employees whilst working at height.

Tensabarrier® pit protection posts With sales of the company’s Tensabarrier® pit protection posts remaining robust throughout the vehicle maintenance sector in the UK, interest has now seen a notable increase across the continent too. As a result, Tensator has recently embarked on a major trial,involving a number of heavy-duty posts, for a leading French transport operator.

Tensator’s robust barrier and webbing systems comply with working at height regulations and can be used to easily indicate hazardous service pit areas.

As Kevin Hickson, general manager at Tensator, explains, many people do not necessarily view a maintenance pit as working at height:

“Obviously large vehicle servicing work takes place below ground level in service pits, but it must be remembered that there’s a very real risk for those people working near or passing by the edge of that pit.

“The Health and Safety Executive classes working at height as any area where a person could fall a distance and sustain injury, and so applies to service pits in garages and maintenance depots.

“Falls from height are the most common cause of serious injury and death in the workplace. Employers across the continent know that steps need to be taken to protect staff and we’re delighted that this sales increase reflects the importance that’s being placed on workplace health and safety.”
