H&A Health & Safety Officer undertakes 'Train The Trainer' course

H&A Health & Safety Officer takes part in course ran by Pirtek Belfast.

From Pirtek:

Any spill management programme should have a proactive rather than reactive attitude to limit the impact of a spillage incident, so you must have the tools in place - just in case - and you can get them from Pirtek's service centre in Belfast.

While this well established company has grown over the years to become a leading specialist in hydraulic hoses, pipe fittings and couplings, it also supplies a comprehensive range of high quality Fentex oil spill and containment products.

With over 700 varieties of Fentex absorbant pads, socks and absorbent rolls at their disposal, Pirtek can offer the correct product for the job, whether it's an accidental oil spill on the workshop floor or a more serious hazardous leakage.

As leading manufacturers of Emergency Spill Kits, they have more than 150 types of kit available.

The kits are suitable for all types of businesses whether they be in the transport industry, the construction sector, mining and quarrying or manufacturing, indeed any operation where there is the potential for an oil or chemical spill," comments Pirtek Belfast's David Adams.

Fentex spill kits and products can be more cost effective than other brands and the company can easily duplicate any spill kit, or refill kit, of any manufacturer. In addition, they can design kits for specific uses or to a customers own design.

"We also offer site surveys and technical support, as well as training in both using the products to tackle spillages and in health and safety matters. Our trainging courses are tailored to meet customers' specific requirements."

Indeed, Pirtek recently carried out a 'Train the Trainer' programme for the Meridian Group partners, consisting of Morrow Contracts, McAllister Bros, Environmental Techniques, H&A Mechanical, T O'Connell & Sons and Mills Contracts. The company's also supplying them spill kits for their teams working on the NI Water contract.

Adds David:"Our specialists have many years in these areas and can offer good sound advice. We're just a phone call away."
