Health and safety is the most important aspect for any business, particularly when it comes to the building and construction industry, a manual segment whereby working environments are rife with potential hazards.
Trailing cables are a key example of this, as it is most apparent that these components are, in essence, an accident simply waiting to happen. Because of their low placement these cables are easy to fall over, and as slips and trips are one of the most common causes of injury in the workplace (accounting for, on average, 40% of all reported major incidents), the caution surrounding these objects has increased somewhat.
A solution is available in the form of a specialised support system strategically developed by cable safety expert Skyhook GB. Incorporating a unique design that is also patented, the Skyhook Cable Safety System can be easily attached to the majority of materials anywhere. Large loops enable employment on ceiling grids, joints, scaffold poles and doors, meaning they can be hung up neatly out of harm’s way, and with its two small holes, the item can be easily attached to overhead fixings or wall fixings with a small screw.
An additionally useful feature is its unique offset – its somewhat twisted structure ensures seamless connection to a wall, and the cables can be fitted into place whilst the loops stand proud with high visibility. Although a simple piece of equipment, the product is effective in safeguarding workplaces against tripping hazards (caused by the positioning of trailing cables).
The Skyhook Cable Safety System has been verified by the Health and Safety Commission and has done exceedingly well ever since its release. Success has soared and the innovative tool has been purchased by more than 150 businesses throughout the UK and beyond – its customer base includes some of the biggest players in the construction sector.
