Make Sure Your Site Is Safe With Site Equip

Ensuring your construction site is safe from the word go is of utmost importance. It’s vital to stay within the guidelines put in place to create a low risk environment for workers on site.

Whilst being a leading provider in portable toilets, Site Equip also supply site safety solutions.
Your site should be equipped with the required safety tools, including clear signage. We have a variety of different safety signs available that meet Health and Safety regulations.

Working at height has its risks, especially with use of ladders. To secure the ladder and prevent tampering or illegal access to areas at height lockable ladder guards are recommended.

Should a worker fall from a height, you should have the correct precautions in place to reduce injury. Site Equip’s Soft fall arrest landing system can reduce risk of injury from falls from up to 2 meters. It is also important to undertake training on how to use certain safety equipment, to ensure it is being used properly and effectively.

Site Equip can also provide portable welfare units that meet site safety requirements. HSE guidelines state that ‘Everyone who works on any site must have access to adequate toilet and washing facilities, a place for preparing and consuming refreshments and somewhere for storing and drying clothing and personal protective equipment.’

A Guide to Good Practice in Waste Disposal

We all have responsibility in making sure liquid waste is disposed of safely and correctly. HSE guidelines state that “There should be clear procedures for the collection, transport, segregation and disposal of offensive/hygiene wastes.”

Here's a few pointers on how to dispose waste responsibly.

1. Companies dealing with waste disposal should adhere to environment policies to ensure minimal pollution and environmental impact. The different types of pollution that could be caused through poorly disposed sewage are:

  • Water pollution ie. Contamination due to flooding
  • Odour pollution
  • Unwanted pests 
2. It is good practice to make sure your waste is being transported to an authorized site. Most importantly, ensure the servicers you use hold a waste carriers licence issued by The Environment Agency.

3. A detailed record should be kept to document all waste transfers, including a description, details of the disposers and time/date of transfer.

Site Equip are committed to providing an excellent disposal service that meets the necessary guidelines to prevent waste from being handled incorrectly or illegally. Site Equip has a fleet of tankers capable of holding from up to 2000 gallons of waste.
