CableSafe Confined Space Safety products significantly reduce accidents in confined spaces. According to OSHA, confined space work is one of the leading causes for occupational fatalities in the U.S.
We see that in some cases alternative solutions are chosen (see image below). Unofficial / improvised solutions are never as good and reliable as CableSafe Confined Space Safety products. We would always recommend the use of official Confined Space products.
Social Return
Social Return is an important aspect for CableSafe. This is how the production of our Light Duty Barrier is done as much as possible in sheltered workshops. These places are mainly staffed by skilled professionals with a disability or distance from the labor market. We want to give people with a distance to the labor market a chance to reintegrate into our society, and to upgrade them in a creative way.
We created a safe workplace for people who cannot find a job in the labor market. We offer a variety of learning tracks which correspond with the demands in the labor market. We guide and accompany around 40 people with safe and appropriate work. Most of these workers are employed in this safe environment but there are also some workers who get sent out to other employers.
In doing so, we strive to achieve the maximum possible socio-economic return.
Differences in work, age, ethnicity, character, dreams and hobbies. This is crucial for the organization. These differences and talents are all what makes us connected. Together, we can ensure that everyone who needs us can participate in society.
