Be at best practice

Making sure you are using the correct amount of film at the right cost to your business is very important.

Typically, a lot of people procuring pallet films buy on the price of the film and not the cost per pallet wrapped which is the true cost to the business.

Also understanding how films should perform is vital to ensure you maintain pallet stability so that your pallets arrive at the destination undamaged and without risk.

Importance of Load Retention

Maintaining pallet load stability and safety standards is the responsibility of everyone in the business: from boardroom to the warehouse floor.

Loads that are not secured properly and shift in transit can cause accidents and fatalities. Negligence carries harsh penalties including losing your operator’s licence, prosecution by HSE and even face the prospect of corporate manslaughter. In addition, the cost to the business can also be clean up, stock loss, re delivery and reputational damage.

Under present UK law, the maximum penalty for an offence under road traffic act 1991 if committed in respect of goods vehicle is a £5,000 fine, 3 points and even disqualification!
