Hiring and Renting Safely

Locally based hire company Astley Hire Ltd has recently received the prestigious Safe-HIRE quality mark. The company which employs 18 staff and is based at Lloyd Court, Leigh, had to undergo a rigorous inspection which included a long and detailed check that their operation met stringent Safety and Quality criteria. These checks included ensuring compliance under Health & Safety Law, Comsumer protection law and Environmental Protection law.

The Safe-HIRE Certification scheme is operated by the Hire Association of Europe the internationally recognised leading body for the development of the hire and rental industry.

"This certification ensures that Astley Hire Ltd is fully committed to looking after their customers by having safe equipment available for hire or rent", said HAE Managing Director, Graham Arundell.

"Our independent Safe-HIRE assessors have carried out a detailed examination of their operations including a review of the servicing and testing procedures implemented to make sure that all equipment is safe before it is hired. They have also checked to ensure that all customers are provided with proper safety instructions. In addition, throughout the certification period, Mystery Customers will visit at random to ensure that these high standards are maintained."
