Slips, Trips and Falls are the most reported injuries by members of the public and every company has an obligation under The Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 (HSW Act) to ensure the health and safety of employees, so far as reasonably practicable. Eco Environmental can provide Deterrent Systems that will protect areas from birds perching and subsequently fouling areas below. Areas such as entrance steps, front or rear canopies, loading bays or any escape routes require particular attention – these areas can have heavy footfall which further increases the risk of slips. Bird Wire, Bird Spikes and Bird Netting are possible Bird Deterrent Systems to consider depending on the size and location of the problem.
