For work near live wires
August 1st 2008 Buck & Hickman has made
working near hazardous live
wires safer with the launch
of Roebuck insulated tools.
The new range has
specially developed polymer
insulation for protection
against high voltages. After
each tool is flash tested to
10,000 volts for 60 seconds,
it promises to fully adhere to
legislation for working near
live conductor cables.
Kevin Thompson, Product
Manager at Buck & Hickman,
said: "The tools have been
individually tested to meet
the BS8020:2002
specification and the design
itself has been carefully
considered to meet all
aspects of safety. A white
inner lining indicates
whether the protective
orange layer has been
damaged making the tool
unsafe near live cables and a
specially contoured collar
prevents the users' hand
slipping on to the steel
blade. More articles from Buck & Hickman Ltd: |
