Newsletter Feedback:

“The email that was sent out regarding reducing the risk of lithium-ion battery fire on 26 February is great. It has been a real talking point for us, and we are taking steps to review what we have on our sites that may contain lithium-ion batteries. We also asked our retail stores to check the tablets that are used for team member to sign in/out on and out of 15 stores that had responded so far, 6 were found their tablets to be bulging. I was also talking with our relationship manager at Crown Forklifts last week to check what type of batteries our forklifts have, and they asked why I was asking about lithium-ion batteries, so I told them that it was all based on the email from Safety First and they were impressed by this.  Well done to the Safety First team!”

Fire Evacuation and Emergency Management:

“We have worked with Safety First since 2013. They help us ensure that we are compliant on all the required fire safety and emergency evacuation procedures, as well as site hazard registers. Recently we worked with the Safety First team to develop an Ammonia Emergency procedure for one of our sites, and the Safety First Workplace Health and Safety team joined in the work on the ammonia emergency compliance requirements. 

The people at Safety First are helpful and extremely knowledgeable, giving us great technical support and peace of mind.”
