Waste Management Company Benefits From Vision Techniques Systems

Online, April 18, 2011 (Newswire.com) - For one of the UK's leading waste management firms, health and safety is its main priority.

With a well-established safety-conscious culture the company believes that all injuries and occupational illnesses are preventable and in robust, non-negotiable standards being rigorously applied across the business.

This focus is seeing continual improvements in safety performance across the business: one area being vehicle safety.

As part of its focus on safety in and around vehicles, the company turned to innovative vehicle safety specialist Vision Techniques.

For the past ten years the company has been using Vision Techniques products and have seen a steady increase in vehicle safety improvements.

Hundreds of its waste management vehicles are fitted innovative products such as Zone Safe II, Banksman Radar, audio reversing alarms and general reversing camera equipment. The company has recently put in a request for 2-way communication and monitoring system, VT-Live.

Designed for vehicles in any industry, this revolutionary equipment warns and protects drivers against any potential reversing dangers.

The products, which are used by major companies and local councils across the country, come together to produce the ultimate vehicle safety system.
The results are tangible - the technology and safety systems provided by Vision Techniques have helped the multinational Waste Management company to further reduce and avoid reversing accidents.

A spokesman for the company said: "The systems installed by Vision Techniques' systems have helped us to improve the safety of our vehicles and the safety of the people working at our site.

"They have helped us to eliminate reversing collisions, and innovative sensors also minimise false alarms, which means we can still work efficiently."

Andrew Kelly, of Vision Techniques, said: "There are endless potentially dangerous scenarios which these systems can save companies from. They offer flexible solutions to dozens vehicle safety and security fleet management issues."

Vision Techniques supplies security and safety equipment many different types of vehicles - including van safety, lorry safety, truck safety, forklift safety and HGV safety - throughout the country.

It supplies products, such as reversing cameras, to local authorities - as well as waste disposal vehicle manufacturers and vehicle body-builders.
