Health & Safety
Whether you’re coming to collect your lifting equipment, witness a Proof Load Test, have a meeting with one of us or you’re simply just delivering something to us, the below information is really important.
hEALTH & SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
At Catena, we recognise the importance of making our workplace a safe working environment for our employees and visitors. With that in mind, we would ask “Is your Visit really necessary?” We use tools such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom & Conference Calls, along with the option to have videos of tests, which means that, whilst we love to see you all, some visits these days to see us aren’t always necessary.
If your visit to Catena is necessary, then please let us know so we can schedule this in.

If you’re witnessing a Proof Load Test, or coming to look at something in the Workshop you’ll need: Hi-Vis, Safety Boots & Glasses.
