HIRE and RENTAL

Continued from page 42.
1. Earth leakage circuit breaker units
should be automatically supplied
with electrical equipment that is not
double insulated, e.g. the widely
used and popular Hitachi PH65A
Hammers.
2. Serious consideration also ought to
be given to supplying Earth
Leakage units with electrical equipment
which is used with water, such
as:
(i) Electric Concrete Mixers
(ii) Electric Vibrators
(iii) Electric Pumps
(iv) Floor Grinders
(v) Brick and Concrete Saws
(Water copied)
(vi) High Pressure Water Washers.
The Earth Leakage units can be incorporated
into the hire charge for
these items or charged for separately
but either way this represents an
additional source of sales income.
3. We may eventually be obliged to
supply operating and safety instructions
with all kinds of equipment
but pending final recommendation
from the National Safety Council,
all Hire Companies would be very
FEATURE
wise to begin supplying written instructions
(as well as verbal) for
those items that may be generally
considered to be inherently
dangerous or have the potential to
be so. (These can be based on the
manufacturers instructions plus additional
information from your
Company's own knowledge and experience)
e.g.
_ Chain Saws
_ Mowers
_ Brush Cutters
_ Airless Sprays
_ Cutquik Saws
_ Water Jets
_ and the list goes on!!
There is no need for blind panic about
these new safety laws but while there
may be some amendments made to correct
anomalies, they are here to stay and
it would be a very foolish Hire operator
who chooses to ignore them.
There may ultimately be new procedures
to be adopted in the maintenance
of Hire plant and at the Hire counter but
until the situation is clarified immediate
attention to the matters I have raised
above would be a good start.
