Safety
Safety is paramount both within our manufacturing facility and when operating on site. During the design of our products particular attention is paid to the safety of the installers and personnel who will be involved in the future operation and maintenance of equipment. To maintain our excellent safety record we employ a full time safety officer who constantly monitors safety issues and ensures that the best safe practices are adhered to.
