Bin Hire, Health and Safety, and a Hot Summer
Rubbish bin hire requires a comprehensive health and safety plan that is guided by the fact you are delivering bins to private homes and special care is required. A stated aim common in health and safety plans is the idea that at the end of each day we return unharmed to our loved ones and we work in such a way that those we work with also return to their loved ones. Bin hire companies should work together to make their health and safety plans as comprehensive as possible. Cut Price Bins has already shared our health and safety plans with some of our opposition and we make our health and safety policy available to anyone interested in it. We do not regard our health and safety policy as intellectual property but rather as something to be shared and expanded upon. A road safety campaign has been running this year to slow down. 32% of road deaths have speed as a contributing factor. We all know that the heat makes us a little irritable and our driving a little more erratic. Instead of reacting more aggressively we need to train ourselves to react more cautiously. You have to mentally prepare to drive according to your mood – am I tired, am I hot and bothered, am I distracted – and then to make a conscious effort to drive more cautiously and slowly. Bin hire delivery requires a slow-motion approach. When you arrive at the customer’s property if you make a mistake the damage will be far less if you are just inching your way in and out. Health and safety is based on taking the lessons from yesterday to make tomorrow safer. I hope some of the ideas I have shared about the safety aspects of the bin hire industry are helpful to you.
