Ideal Solution for storage and transportation of safety decking panels

The storage and transportation of decking panels has long been a industry-wide issue. This has arisen due to the increased need to palletise and secure the equipment for safe lifting and transportation. Plant machinery such as forklift trucks, both standard and telescopic, cannot move unsecured loads. As a result, site loads spend unnecessary time loading pallets, banding or strapping the loads to ensure that they remain stable. Our decking panel stillages have been designed to make storage and transportation of these materials safer but also more time and cost-effective.

Innovative & Simple Design 

We have two stillage options available to either hire, purchase or as an add-on to the G&M Safe Deck system.  

The first option is designed to accept 26 decking panels stored in two stacks of 13 panels side by side. This means that your operatives don’t need to stack the panels 26 high on a panel as they may do currently.  

Alternatively, our other stillage is designed to accept 56 built legs that can also be stacked.

Consequently we have testing data which proves the Safe Deck half panel has the same loading capability and characteristics as the standard full size panel.

How does safety decking contribute to a more sustainable construction site?

Safety decking plays a crucial role in promoting sustainability on construction sites.

  • Primarily it minimises material waste. All our Safety decking is designed for reusability, reducing the need for constant replacement. This minimizes the amount of construction material waste generated, contributing to a more eco-friendly construction process.
  • Safety decking creates safer, more comfortable working conditions for laborers. Leading to higher job satisfaction, reduced turnover, and increased productivity, ultimately promoting sustainable employment practices within the construction industry.
  • Safety decking’s role in protecting workers means that skilled labor can continue to be employed in the industry for longer, ensuring the transfer of knowledge and skills to the next generation of construction workers.

How does safety decking protect workers?

Safety decking plays a crucial role in protecting construction workers by providing a secure working platform at elevated heights. Here’s how safety decking safeguards workers:

Preventing Falls: Safety decking creates a stable and level surface for workers to stand or walk on while performing tasks at heights. This minimizes the risk of falls, which is one of the most significant hazards in construction.

Fall Arrest: In the event of an accidental slip or trip, safety decking is often designed to act as a fall arrest system. It can stop a worker from falling to a lower level, reducing the severity of injuries or preventing them altogether.

Enhancing Stability: Safety decking is engineered to support the weight of construction workers, equipment, and materials. This stability ensures that workers can carry out their tasks without worrying about the platform collapsing or shifting.

Increased Confidence: Knowing they are working on a secure surface, workers can concentrate on their tasks with greater confidence and peace of mind, reducing stress and distraction that can lead to accidents.

How much does GM Safe Deck weigh?

G&M Safe Deck has been designed to be lightweight as well as strong. A full size panel weighs 10.43 kg.

What is the life span of G&M Safe Deck?

The G&M Safe Deck System has a proven life expectancy of at least 10 years. This has been proven by testing panels taken from our contracting stock that are 10 years old. The testing was successful and the old panels performed as well as a new one would. G&M Safe Deck is by far the most rigorously tested plastic system available on the market anywhere in the world.

What testing has been carried out on the Safe Deck system?

G&M Safe Deck exceeds all Health and Safety Executive Standards and provides an exceptionally safe platform for working at height.
The system is tested to BS5973:1993, BSEN12811-1: 2003 and ACR [M] 001:2014 as stipulated by FASET.

Why is safety decking important in construction?

Safety decking is beneficial in a construction project for a multitude of reasons. Its primary function is to safeguard the well-being of construction workers, mitigating the risks associated with working at heights. Here are several key reasons why safety decking is beneficial:

  • First and foremost, safety decking provides a secure platform for workers to perform tasks at elevated levels. This reduces the likelihood of accidents, such as falls from heights, which can result in severe injuries or fatalities. By creating a stable working surface, safety decking minimizes these risks, ensuring that workers can focus on their tasks with confidence.
  • Furthermore, safety decking enhances overall productivity on construction sites. With a reliable and safe platform in place, workers can efficiently carry out their duties, saving time and resources. This translates into cost savings for construction projects and helps meet deadlines more effectively.

We provide full onsite assessment backed by a professional and highly experienced team to ensure your site personnel are safe from the start of the job until evacuation.
