HEALTH & SAFETY ON LADDERS Health and Safety Executive


POCKITPOUCH ONE HANDED NAIL AND SCREWING MADE EASY!



In the food and drink industries, analysis of 150 falls from height accidents investigated by HSE over three years indicated the following places from which workers fell:


  • Ladders: 40%

  • Vehicles and FLTs 17%

  • Machinery and plant: 10%

  • Platforms: 10%

  • Stairs: 8%

  • Roof/false ceiling: 7%

  • Scaffold and gantry: 4%

  • Warehouse racking: 4%


WHAT IF YOU COULD NAIL OR SCREW MATERIALS WITH ONE HAND!


HOW SAFER WILL IT BE HAVING THE OTHER HAND FREE ON THE LADDER!


THE THREE POINTS OF CONTACT MEANS BOTH FEET FIRMLY ON A RUNG AND ONE HAND FIMLY HOLDING THE LADDER!


How do you do this whilst attaching a screw to a drill or positioning your nail to your hammer without the use of both hands?



Pockitpouch creates a uniform vertical aligned row of nails or screws giving you a clear view of the top head section to then use the magnets on either a suitable magnetic nail hammer or a magnetic screwdriver bit fitted to a drill, which leaves your other hand free to grab hold of the ladder.
