Health and safety is a standard part of day to day life in the workplace, protecting employers, employees and customers from potential accidents.

At Riggotts, we have stringent health and safety standards, with a zero-tolerance policy to anyone in breach of health and safety regulations, as they exist to protect and keep our employees, clients out of harm’s way.

In the Riggotts product arsenal, we can deliver health and safety compliant line markings in order to improve the health and safety at any of our client’s sites.

Working nationally and recently internationally, we can make sure your sites are as safe as can be with line markings which are not only safe but leave a lasting impression on customers too.

We have regular training days for all the operatives at Riggotts, this combined with our stringent standards, puts our clients at ease, knowing all our operatives are fully competent and qualified to carry out their works.

RIDDOR, the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations. These regulations require employers to report certain serious workplace accidents, occupational diseases and specified dangerous occurrences (near misses) to the HSE.

We are proud to announce that to date, Riggotts have worked over 80,000 hours without a single RIDDOR report. This is a testament to how important health and safety in the workplace is, and proof that it works.

Nevertheless, it doesn’t stop there – as standards are constantly changing and improving we must continually develop our health and safety measures while introducing more training for our operatives, making sure they have the correct knowledge to prevent any accident.

If you require the help of Riggotts to improve the line markings at your business, give us a call today via freephone or email, and we can deliver line markings which help prevent workplace accidents and could potentially save a life.

With health and safety becoming of ever-growing importance in the workplace, making your site safe for both customers and employees is now more important than ever.

In 2018 alone, over 30 people were fatally injured in the UK from incidents involving moving traffic in the workplace.

Riggotts provide simple solutions to divide foot traffic from motorized vehicles to help prevent injuries such as these.

Taking the health and safety of your workforce and customers seriously is an essential part of running any successful modern business and returning client, Travis Perkins, certainly acknowledges this.

Travis Perkins enlisted Riggotts to redesign their floor plan and help create a safer workspace at their Harlow branch through the use of specialist white lining.

The client tasked Riggotts with improving and enhancing the white markings on their concrete surfaces, improving the contrast to help them stand out in poorer lighting – ensuring that both pedestrians and motor traffic can see them in an effort to reduce risk of injury.

Riggotts devised a solution, a black base was laid onto the surface prior to newly refreshed white lines to create a bolder contrast and improved visibility.

Working closely with the client allowed Riggotts to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of what the client needed, whilst delivering the works on time and to budget.

The freshly designed line-markings were carried out in Single-Pack epoxy paint to ensure durability and longevity.

In total, the Riggotts team put down a total of six arrows, 208 metres squared of solid colours, 3315 metres of 100mm wide lines, 382 metres of hatching, 138 letters/numbers, 11 pedestrian logos and one accessible parking bay.
