Handistep
Since the introduction of
Handistep during 2001 this unique step is now recognised as an OEM approved
safety related product for van fleet operators and owner operators of Light
Commercial Vehicles.
Handistep has been
designed to offer anti-slip, self cleaning treads mounted onto a strong metal
frame, offering full width safety step treads for operatives loading roof
mounted equipment as well as loading goods in / out of high roof
vehicles.
Handistep is now even
more important since the introduction of the Corporate Manslaughter Bill 220EN,
particularly the section covering “Relevant Duty of Care” whereby Fleet Managers
must carry out a full risk assessment covering safe loading and unloading of
equipment as mobile workshops / delivery vehicles are now regarded as the
operatives place of work.
The Handistep range has
continued to grow with Major Fleets now specifying this unique product knowing
the system has been manufactured under an ISO 9001 (2008) certified quality system and
meets both TUV and ELVD directives.
With ever increasing
legislation that surrounds “Duty of Care”, Handistep now offers even greater
safety with the introduction of a NEW UNIQUE YELLOW HANDISTEP.
Handistep take Health
& Safety very seriously and all product now features high
visual red reflective tape as part of the standard specification to address
Highways legislation (Chapter 8) directives which became mandatory in
2009.
