Implementing workplace safety measures is incredibly important when it comes to preventing commonly experienced workplace accidents like slips and falls, body stressing, being hit by moving objects and accidentally hitting objects with parts of the body.

The Australian Work Health and Safety Strategy 2012-2022 is focused on construction, building and trades where risks and hazards need to be mitigated.

For plumbers, making calculated tool choices for professional plumbing is the first step toward a safe workplace. An all-round plumber will be well equipped for most jobs, but there are times when hiring tools and equipment is the cost-effective option.

Coates Hire prioritises safety and helps experienced and novice plumbers make calculated tool choices for professional plumbing. With the right tools on hand the chances of an accident or injury are dramatically reduced.

Coates Hire customers are able to browse tools online, reserve equipment, call over the phone, or drop into any branch located in major cities and regional centres. Coates Hire continues to expand its services, and now also offers full design, maintenance and project management assistance for larger projects.

All plumbing equipment hired should be backed by a full service history and come with a logbook if necessary.
