First aid and emergency equipment is crucial for any work environment, but it can potentially cause contamination if not designed, maintained, or used properly. This can pose a significant risk to hygienic environments if stringent cleaning procedures are not adhered to. Every effort should be taken to prevent contamination that could cause health hazards, product waste or regulatory non-compliance.
Teknomek understands that balancing safety and hygiene is essential. Our range of health and safety equipment is purpose-built for hygienic environments, ensuring that it protects workers without compromising the cleanliness and sterility of the workplace.
Teknomek equipment puts hygiene first
Teknomek customers benefit from our extensive knowledge of the hygienic sectors with our products designed to not only minimise risk but also increase efficiency. Our health and safety items are comprised of premium quality hygienic materials that ensure longevity while safely withstanding stringent cleaning regimes.
Hygienic materials
The majority of our health and safety product range is manufactured from 304-grade stainless steel with the option of 316-grade on request for environments requiring higher levels of corrosion resistance. This provides an easy to clean and corrosion resistant finish to suit regular cleaning practices.
Hygienic design
By prioritising hygiene within our product design, we can ensure that the necessary first aid and emergency equipment does not become a source of contamination. We understand that this is critical in the hygienic sectors where even the smallest oversight can have significant implications.
Our equipment is designed with smooth, crevice-free surfaces to reduce the likelihood of dirt and dust building up in hard-to-reach areas. This ease of cleaning further ensures that any potential contaminants can be quickly and thoroughly removed. An added benefit to this is that, in common with all our equipment, the cost of maintaining high hygiene standards is kept to a minimum.
A good example of this is our First Aid Cabinet and Fire Extinguisher Cabinets which incorporate a sloping top surface to reduce particle build up. The fully enclosed design speeds up cleaning routines as it ensures that no contaminates can settle around the equipment. Vital equipment is ready to use at a moment’s notice.
Maintaining hygiene standards while keeping staff safe
Teknomek’s eye wash units and safety showers are an essential precaution for environments which handle potentially harmful chemicals, biological agents or contaminants. While our safety showers can be wall or ceiling mounted, our eye wash units are available wall-mounted or in a freestanding, 304 or 316-grade pedestal format.
Our mobile safety steps are available in various dimensions to protect staff against physical injury. Manufactured from 304L-grade stainless steel in accordance with EN 131-7, the steps feature easy to clean tubular rails, non-slip checkerplate standing surfaces, stainless steel castors and a locking handle for quick and safe repositioning. If a platform isn’t required, our portable steps are available with or without a safety handle while still offering a robust, hygienic design.
Managing Hygiene risk with Teknomek Hygienic Designs
Contamination can have severe consequences in the food and pharmaceutical industries by compromising product safety. History shows that this can lead to product recalls or even plant closures in addition to being a potential health hazard for both consumers and staff. To address these risks, equipment and food storage containers must be easy to clean, durable and designed to minimise points of exposure to contaminants. Teknomek’s innovative, hygienic designs significantly reduce contamination risk, ensure that staff have easy access to safety equipment, at the same time as managing the cost of your cleaning regime.If you would like to find out more, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team of experts.
