safety

With the recent undertaking of a new independent study into the way commercial tents are ballasted when staking is not an option, the Tent Rental Division(TRD) of the Industrial Fabrics Association International (IFAI) has stepped in to find answers to the questions once found “taboo” by most in our industry. At the recent IFAI Tent Expo, where the green light was given to fund and start the process of this study, there seem to be quite a bit of confusion about what this study will tell us and how the information will affect our businesses.

While some tent renters enjoy the benefit of an extended or year long season, much of the country is just now gearing up for tent season. With that in mind, we thought it would be helpful to review the issue of safety and how it relates to your installation crews.

Whether you are a year long, extended season or short season renter, crew safety needs to be at the forefront of every operation, and there is no time like the present to review and implement thorough evaluation and procedure.
