The Shocksafe range of polyfibre insulated tools provides full conformity to the exacting specifications of BS8020: Tools for Live Working.

 

BS8020:2002 is an exacting specification that demands full adherence to detailed manufacturing and testing procedures for safe working practices to be maintained by the user when working on or in close proximity to live conductor cables.  Every single tool is flash tested to 10,000 bolts before the issue of a certificate, unique to each implement.  Our guarantee of safety to the user, in a potentially danger live-working environment.

 

Our Shocksafe shovels are doubly protectedy by twin layers of polymer sheathing, moulded over the rigid fibreglass core.  The orange insulation used for the outer sheathing has been developed for its high voltage and abrasion resistance properties.  If the white inner sleeve becomes visible, the tool should be removed from use around live working conditions.  A specially integrated collar prevents the user's hand slipping onto the steel blade.  Each tool is flashed tested to 10,000 volts and printed with BS8020 1000 Volt logo and every tool is uniquely numbered and certified, thus ensuring total traceability and guaranteeing full conformity to live cable working specifications.
