Safe and Efficient Loading: SafeSmart Access Delivers for Dent Steel

At Dent Steel, the need for efficient and safe loading and unloading processes is paramount.

Prior to working with SafeSmart Access, Dent Steel faced a significant challenge when it came to their truck loading bays. With workers frequently climbing onto the back of flatbed trucks, the risks of falls from height was a serious concern. SafeSmart Access was brought in to provide a tailored solution that would not only address safety risks but also improve efficiency.

Identifying the Challenge

Dent Steel’s loading operations involved staff climbing onto flatbed trucks that stood at an industry-standard of 1.5 metres. Without adequate edge protection, workers were exposed to significant fall risks as they moved around on top of the flat beds. A fall from this height could easily lead to serious injuries, and the need for a solution that prioritised safety and compliance was urgent.

Supplying the Solution: Custom SafeLoaders for Truck Loading Bays

SafeSmart responded by designing and delivering custom SafeLoaders tailored to Dent Steel’s slightly smaller than usual loading bays. The SafeLoaders offered an easy and safe way for staff to access and work on flatbeds, eliminating the need to climb unsafely onto trucks.

The SafeLoader also came equipped with comprehensive edge protection, significantly reducing the risk of falls while workers loaded and unloaded materials from the flatbeds. With a few simple steps, staff could now safely step on and off the trucks, all while complying with industry standards for working at height.

The Result: A Safe and More Efficient Loading Process

Since implementing SafeSmart’s SafeLoaders, Dent Steel has seen immediate improvements. Not only has loading and unloading become considerably faster, but the company has also reported zero fall-related accidents from flatbeds. The SafeLoaders have ensured that all height access and safety compliance boxes are getting ticked, giving Dent Steel peace of mind that their workers are protected.

At Dent Steel, the commitment to creating a safe and efficient workplace is clear. By prioritising the wellbeing of their team and seeking innovative solutions, they’ve set a benchmark for best practices in truck loading operations. Together, we’ve proven that safety and productivity can go hand in hand.
