Reel safe

With slips and trips continually the most common workplace accident Nederman has issued a reminder of the benefits of using self-retracting reels for the safe supply of air, water, oil, grease, electrical power or vacuum.

Floor contamination or obstacles (such as trailing leads) are among the key causes of slips and trips which cost employers an estimated £512 million/year.

Self-retracting reels available from Nederman can greatly reduce both these risks."Reels also reduce wear and tear on hoses, cables and equipment and can significantly increase efficiency," explains Mark Hodgens, Nederman managing director. "This means there's a return on investment as well as risk reduction."
