Also this month, it has been announced that maintenance is the theme of the next European Agency for Safety and Health at Work's (EU-OSHA) two year safety campaign. Speaking about the campaign at the Agency's Healthy Workplaces summit in Bilbao, EU-OSHA director Jukka Takala suggested that as Europe starts to move out of recession many machines that have been lying dormant will be brought back to life making a focus on maintenance essential.

To improve team efficiency and provide a lone working solution Albion have signed up with Aeromark (Orange network partner) and Securi Guard to provide a vehicle and lone worker tracking solution.

All Albion company vehicles are now fitted with a tracker which can be viewed on line via orange web site. Staff are also issued with a personal panic / distress button, which can be used remotely from their vehicle. Calls from the distress system are monitored by secure guard 24 hrs per day to react to any incidents as and when they occur.

System is now live and Albion is delighted with the information provided by the system.

It is now almost a year since we appointed Billy Anderson as our QUENSH (Quality, environmental, safety and health) Manager. Billy has a wealth of experience from providing Health and Safety consultancy services to the construction industry.

Billy has steadily built up our range of clients including civil engineering companies, waste management companies and local authorities. We continue to increase our workload in this area even during the current economic downturn. This is being achieved by delivering a high quality and practical level of service which the clients require to allow them to carry out their operations safely.

In order to cope with the increased work load Jonathan Love is now working alongside Billy to supply these Health and safety consultancy services to our clients.

If you wish to discuss what we can do for you please do not hesitate to contact Billy Anderson.
