Make sure your workplace equipment is always 'Good to Go'

Two areas that a business cannot afford to ignore are worker safety and equipment maintenance. The cost of ignoring either can prove extremely costly. Ignoring or failing to spot a minor equipment fault can see it develop into a costly repair with lengthy downtime; the worst case scenario resulting in injury to an employee.
The Good to Go Safety system is an innovative tagging and inspection system which provides a means for assessing equipment, highlighting any defects and ultimately providing a safer working environment.
The Safe Equipment Management System (SEMS) has three main components:
- A tag, which is attached to the equipment and displays the current status and date of last inspection.
- The check book provides 25 individual checklists allowing essential pre-use checks to be completed and placed inside the tag to indicate when it is 'Good to Go'. A duplicate copy of each completed checklist is also retained for management records.
- An optional tamper evident seal protects the integrity of the latest assessment.
It is a flexible system with a wide range of applications; including forklifts, ladders, vehicles, MEWP's, pallet trucks, scaffolding and many more. Available as individual components or in kit format to fit with your frequency of inspections.
Businesses have a legal duty under PUWER (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998) to ensure that workplace equipment is suitable for its intended purpose; regularly maintained to ensure safety; only used by people who have received adequate training and inspected by a competent worker.
Good to Go Safety helps you to improve safety, reduce maintenance costs and comply with legislation. To find out more visit Stand E46 at The Health & Safety Event on 24-26th March 2015, NEC, Birmingham.
