Spillard supplies rear-view safety

Spillard Safety Systems has supplied removable rear-view systems for the excavators and telehandlers at Friel Construction.

Friel’s health and safety manager John Berks highlighted traffic accidents as the second biggest cause of accidents on sites and said: "We are doing everything possible to ensure our sites remain accident-free.

"We used to rely on rear-mounted convex mirrors, but we now much prefer our operators to concentrate on forward visions, with the strategically placed LCD screens giving an instant alert of anyone situated near the rear of the machines."

Using magnetic mounts for the cameras and quick-release LCD screens allows the system to be easily removed for security purposes.
