‘Safety at work begins with knowledge and with the right access equipment’

‘Safety is a key issue in our training courses and at our company. This is how it should be everywhere where people work at height. We are therefore always looking for new products and smarter ways to work. It’s also why we are introducing the new Altrex Safe-Quick 2 to our assortment and in our training programme. Both we and our course members are highly enthusiastic about this innovation. It is so different to the previous assembly method using rolling towers.’

“I see the Safe-Quick as a real revolution. You simply cannot afford to make mistakes or skimp on safety.”

The latter is something he sees during the training courses. The course members build the Safe-Quick correctly, right from the first time they use it. ‘We often divide the group into two, with one half using the previous method and the other group using the Safe-Quick. You always see that the second group finishes quicker, but more important these people immediately place trust in both the product and in themselves. That says a lot about the training course and certainly about the Safe-Quick!’

“Safety at work goes hand-in-hand with taking responsibility, both for yourself and your colleagues.”

Next to internal training courses, Boels has a particular focus on providing courses externally. There are training courses for groups and for independent entrepreneurs. ‘If you use access equipment or machines, you are obliged by law to follow a training course or session’, says Maenen. ‘Obviously, you want to meet this requirement as it means you are also complying with the safety regulations. Moreover, training is very useful. During the assembly of a rolling tower like the Safe-Quick, it’s useful when someone explains to you exactly how it works. When you have seen it once in practice then you’ll always know how to do it yourself. That is the great thing about Safe-Quick!’
