Case study
Gap Group – leading independent plant and tool hire firm
The challenge
Gap Group is responsible for the hire of equipment that has health and safety implications for the user if it is not operated correctly.
The Ritchey ID solution
Pre-printed cable ties in red, amber and green that show safety time limits for continuous use.
Red – should not be operated until a supervisor is consulted
Amber – use only for a period of up to two hours
Green – can be used more or less continuously during an eight-hour working day
User comments
“The traffic light colour coding system gives a clear indication on time limits to everyone using our hire equipment, whether or not they speak English as a first language”
says Malcolm Campbell, Gap Group Health and Safety Officer
