Ensuring Compliance and Safety
GAP's fleet of lifting equipment adheres rigorously to the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER). This ensures that every piece of equipment is not just operational but optimally safe for use, minimising risks and maximising peace of mind.
Reduced Manual Handling, Enhanced Accessibility
By introducing lifting equipment such as cranes and hoists, the need for manual handling of heavy materials is significantly reduced. This alleviates common injuries associated with manual lifting, such as strains and sprains, fostering a safer working environment. Moreover, our lifting solutions enable access to heights and areas that may pose challenges for manual handling, enhancing overall accessibility and safety across your site.
Expert Safety Features
Equipped with safety features including load sensors, emergency stop buttons, and audible alarms, GAP's lifting equipment prioritises accident prevention. These features provide real-time alerts and controls, reducing potential hazards and ensuring a secure working environment for your team.
Increased Efficiency and Precision
With GAP's lifting equipment, tasks are completed faster and more efficiently, minimising worker fatigue and reducing the likelihood of accidents caused by rushed operations. Additionally, our equipment offers precise control over material movement, minimising the risk of collisions or dropped loads, thus enhancing safety and preventing property damage.
Training and Certification Requirements
Recognising the complexity of some of our lifting equipment, GAP emphasises the importance of specialised training and certification that needs to be obtained before use. This ensures that only qualified personnel operate the equipment, reducing the risk of accidents caused by untrained individuals and maintaining a high standard of safety across your project.
Conducting Risk Assessments
Before using any lifting equipment, thorough risk assessments should be conducted. These assessments identify potential hazards and allow for the implementation of control measures.
By incorporating GAP’s lifting equipment into your project, you're not just enhancing efficiency; you're elevating safety standards. Our commitment to compliance, innovation, and expertise ensures that your construction site remains a safe and secure environment for every team member.
