Seatbelts, surveillance drones, road cats-eyes, traffic cones, and many more items are likely to appear on any list of the best safety inventions. The ultimate example of a great safety invention you may have underestimated is the humble racksack.
Some of the most ingenious commercial safety products serve a double, if not triple, purpose. They offer clear practical benefits, supporting seamless productivity. Some also help you to meet environmental management goals. Of course, both of these are compelling reasons to buy those products anyway. Without fully appreciating their ability to meet your Health & Safety obligations too!
We would like to add the racksack to the safety hall of fame. Here, we explain why!
In praise of racksacks
Before we show you the H&S benefits, here’s a quick reminder of what a racksack actually is!
Our range is fully compliant with the current EU & UK waste segregation legislation. They are also strong, hardwearing and made from waterproof materials to cope with a diverse range of waste materials. Whichever racksack option you specify, you can fix them quickly to racking and any other frames around your workspace with a sturdy S clip. Their open mouth makes waste placement easy. Then, they can be lifted by enforced handles to empty and to relocate with no hassle.
If you need to inspect the waste segregation activities of your team, opt for a racksack with clear pockets for at a glance monitoring.
This all makes racksacks a great time and space-saving system for waste management, but how are they a must-have safety product?
Manage waste to safeguard staff and machines
In high pressured industrial and logistics environments, disposing of waste materials intelligently keeps productivity flowing, However, it also ensures that trip hazards, sharp items, floating debris and rubbish that could clog up machinery are all removed smoothly and quickly. Down to the smallest piece of tape, glass, shrink wrap or cut-off for example. Even in offices, waste left to mount up is considered a hazard.
Buying suspended waste management systems also avoids floor level bins that can impede free movement of people and machinery.
Now, let us introduce you to the three of the best practical products that tick those safety boxes.
1. Racksack – Green & Blue
Our green racksacks give your team an easily identifiable receptacle for recyclable waste, that can be hung at the perfect location in your premises. You can specify the symbols and text on your racksack, though standard options include Mixed Paper and Card, and Cardboard.
Blue racksacks are quick identifiers for non-recyclable materials. These two can be overprinted, and standard versions available include Plastics Only, General Waste, Metal, Glass and Shrinkwrap Only.
Both Blue and Green racksacks come in handy packs and can be just plain if preferred.
2. Racksacks for rollcages and clear racksack options
To create a mobile waste collection and segregation system, the perfect solution is the hardy rollcage racksacks we offer. These can be effortlessly attached and unattached and fit easily on anything up to a 800mm wide roll container. Once again, with that great option to create bespoke messaging on the strong material, to match your waste control aims.
As previously mentioned, you don’t have to buy colour coded racksacks, as we also sell a clear version for quality control and security purposes. That includes Rollcage racksacks with clear pockets that enable you to minimise loss of re-usable materials, and so manage your production costs.
3. Trolley Racksack
A third safety product that gives you practical workplace benefits is a racksack that can be fitted over the handles of workplace trolleys, up to a width of 589mm. It’s a great way for staff to tidy as they go, slotting waste materials such as paper and cardboard into single or double pocketed recycling sacks. Emptying them at waste stations could not be easier.
Racksacks rock!
You can now see why Safe Industrial is so proud of its hardwearing, re-usable, waste receptacles that can be suspended in diverse locations. The racksack supports your recycling aims and creates a highly practical solution in any workplace. Yet, it is also a secret weapon to keep your workplace uncluttered, clean, and safe!
