A Matter of Safety

All equipment offered for hire from the smallest power tool to the largest access platform will have been subjected to an inspection and service procedure appropriate to its class and in accordance with recommendations made by manufacturers and trade associations. Fully traceable records are kept and where certificates of test are appropriate they are issued to the customer.

Business customers have duties imposed on them by various regulations and they remain responsible for ensuring that these are carried out. Clements can ensure that the machine you order is safe and fit the purpose that it was designed for, we cannot however, certify that it is necessarily the most appropriate machine for your particular job as this is part of your own risk assessment. We can supply technical data to assist you in performing your assessment where necessary. Many classes of equipment including all access platforms and most self propelled mobile plant is required by law to be operated by trained or competent persons. Clements will provide a familiarisation document on delivery when required. This IS NOT a substitute for proper training, it is a means of informing a competent operator of the operating and safety features of a particular machine.

All equipment is supplied with written instructions and these should be consulted before using the equipment unless you are already fully familiar with the class and type. Business users have an obligation to provide their staff with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) which is appropriate to risks imposed by both the equipment and the operating environment. Clements will provide data to assist in selection of PPE and we can sell it to you if you wish. It will not be provided to business users unless they specifically order it. Contact us for futher information on this subject.
