New Plant : The WRARCO Safety tool box for working at heights
Dear Sir or Madam,
This is a new product Designed and Built by Construction workers for the purpose we felt was needed to make our job easier and safer for all, the WRARCO was designed to be used within Elevated Work Platforms, Scissor lifts, Scaffold and working at heights to eliminate dropped objects and manual handling (sprains and strains), it comes with a back pack for carrying and is rated lifting device that can be lifted by a crane into hard to access places and suspended with clips at a Ergonomic Height for ease of use depending on the location of work, eliminating the use of buckets and boxes etc.
We are Qualified Occupational Health and Safety Advisors and we have designed and built this product that is patented in 5 countries and registered in Australia as new plant this year with all the testing certification, the WRARCO has also been entered in the new design awards with Work Safe Victoria as they have a keen interest in the participation of the work force to improve safety in the workplace and the WRARCO has come to New Zealand to Launch its manufacture and sale to the construction industry.
There is a saying within the safety industry as a OHS Advisor, when you work within a industry and see a potential risk that has the potential to cause harm, and, if the conditions at the workplace or the way work is done raise the potential of risk not covered in the compliance code, compliance needs to be achieved by other means.
We have long seen a need within our industry with the hazards of working at heights and have brought a product to the market feeling it should be embraced as safety product and a valuable accessory in the effort to reduce injury, and, even though I have been told you do not endorse products you have the ability to publish products like this in the Gazette to notify other construction companies of a better way to eliminate a potential hazard when working at heights and it is then they have been introduced into a better and safer way to work and introduce it into their own safe work plan.
Please see the attachment Brochure of the WRARCO the only safety product I know that will increase production
Yours Sincerely
Lewis Jones
