Equipment Advice

The right piece of equipment can make a worker safer and more productive. The wrong choice in equipment can do the opposite and can be much more costly than the original purchase price or the subsequent replacement cost.

The Equipment market is also a fast chnging environment as manufacturers are constantly coming out with modifications and new models. but even buying the latest and greatest thing from a supplier that you trust is no guarantee that it will meet your needs or even be a cost effective purchase.

A sales rep that you can trust can be a big help, but at the end of the day their advice is neither fearless or independent.

What you need is advice or an advisor who understands how to manage risk, has a knowedge the entire scope of appropriate and available equipment and understanding of your business and your needs. A 'Partner in Safety', like Safe Hands can also be a partner in productivity.

The total cost of equipment

Do managers have a good track record when it comes to assessing the true cost of equipment purchase? The truth is....NO.

But should that really surprise anyone? Managers need to be across so many different areas of the business that it just isn't possible to have all the answers.

The test of a great manager is for them to know the limitations of the knowledge or experience, and to know when to seek outside advice.

The true cost of equipment includes the purchase price, running costs, maintenance costs, plus or minus the cost effect the purchase has on Safety and productivity, and the expected lifetime of the equipment.

Safe Hands doesn't claim or even want to be your only source of equipment advice. As your Partner in Safety we want to better inform the decisions that are yours to make.
