A total commitment to safety, quality and personal protection

The safety of our customers and your staff is something we take very seriously indeed.

At Brandon Hire, we know that Health and Safety is more than a legal requirement. In fact, complying with the law is the minimum standard for all our customers. Our duty is to offer you the very best control measures available to reduce risk. We regularly make sure every piece of equipment you hire from us has been fully serviced, maintained and tested to the highest standards.

In addition, we also provide a Safety Advice Line, on-site demonstrations of equipment, tool-box talks for your staff and quality accredited training through our dedicated training division, Brandon Training.

We supply the full range of safety equipment – from breathing masks and goggles to head protection and safety footwear – and we’ll make sure you’re fully trained on how to use it. Simply visit your nearest branch and our staff will give you a full demonstration.

We can provide guidelines on all kinds of safety issues and our website has even more information to help you comply with the law and keep your workforce safe and injury-free.

The following four pages detail some of the more common safety issues that affect the construction trade.
