One of our clients is a rail company based in Queensland, Australia. Their OHS and Operations teams were seeking a solution that allowed their workers a safe way to remove the debris and dirt that covered them during maintenance on the rail freight cars.
The rail company had never trialled a JetBlack Safety booth before, so we invited them to visit our warehouse in Perth to see the booths in action.
Armed with their own PPE and dirt brought straight from site, the rail team’s Safety Officer and Operations representative ran a series of tests on our demo booth.
What they were most keen to observe, was how much debris could be removed under the hot, humid conditions of Queensland – workers can easily get drenched with sweat while undergoing their work which makes dirt removal more challenging.
We recommended the BH05 booth – JetBlack Safety’s Hybrid, which features oscillating air nozzles to remove the majority of the dirt, but also includes a hand-held hose and nozzle so the user can direct the air into hard-to-reach places.
The booth performed brilliantly and gave them a great result, as seen in the video. The rail team were very impressed (and partly due to the fun time they, and our team, had dusting and re-dusting for each test).
In the end, the rail company purchased two of the JetBlack Safety Hybrid Personnel Cleaning Booths BH05, with potentially more purchases to come.
