Tagging for T5
October 1st 2007 Permasteelisa has a team of
120 staff working on BAA's
new T5 at Heathrow. They
are erecting a staggering
nine miles of glass cladding
for the walls of the main
terminal building.
Nigel Ree is health, safety
and environment manager
for Permasteelisa and must
ensure that thousands of 5
by 4m sheets of glass are
installed without
compromising safety.
Helping in this task is
Scafftag. Ree employs its
information management
solutions on the seven
projects he is overseeing.
Among them are MEWP Tag
(for mobile elevated work
platforms), Podium Tag,
Laddertag and LOLER Tag for
lifting equipment.
Ree says "I need a
standard tagging solution
that everyone can
understand, whether they
are new recruits and it is
their first day on site, or
contractors whose first
language isn't English. With
these tags, staff know
immediately whether they
can use a piece of
equipment or not." More articles from Scafftag Limited: |
