Safemark - Securing Assets - Factory & Construction Tools

	SAFETY PROTECTION If power tools are misused by untrained staff and an accident occurs, you may be liable under your Duty of Care obligations. So ensure all tools and plant that require expert training can only be used by trained personnel.
	EQUIPMENT PROTECTION If tools and plant are misused or vandalised, you will have to replace them. And for some specialist items, this could mean an expensive wait until replacements are tracked down.
	THEFT PROTECTION If tools and plant go missing or are vandalised they cannot be used on the work project, so you have staff with nothing to do until the replacement kit arrives.
SUMMARY Ensure all factory and construction site tools and plant are locked away or locked down when they are not being used. Only issue keys to personnel who have been correctly trained to use the equipment and hold them responsible for keeping them safe.
