We comply with health & safety standards

Our compliance with current health and safety legislation is of paramount importance to LCTH and we help all of our clients comply. It is important that health and safety legislation be followed, no matter the size of the project. When we deliver your catering trailer(s), LCTH observe all current procedures. In addition, Health and Safety policy is aggressively enforced company wide.

Risk Assessments

Where required, we provide risk assessment sheets for the various procedures to be undertaken such as the off loading of catering equipment and the use of bottled gas. We aim to work with your staff to ensure that health and safety procedures are built into the project, and not merely a last minute addition.

Method Statements
We operate in full compliance with current (CDM) Regulations, and detailed method statements are available

Gas safety

All of our catering equipment comply with the latest gas safety regulations and all installations are carried out to relevant British Standards and The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations including BS 6891:1998, IGE/UP/1, IGE/UP/1a, IGE/UP/2. It is a Health and Safety Executive requirement that all installations and maintenance work on gas appliances must be carried out by GasSafe registered gas engineers. We only use engineers who have relevant GasSafe certification and attend regular training.

Flame failure devices
All LCTH hire equipment is protected by Flame Failure Devices (FFD), which have been introduced by legislation. Whilst only a recommendation for hire equipment, all LCTH equipment complies to this standard. Should a piece of equipment fail, the FFD will close off the gas supply to this item. This means that if a gas tap was left open when the equipment failed, the gas would not be able to flow again once the gas supply was restored without going through the normal lighting procedure. Potential explosions and poisoning are thus avoided.

Fire blankets

Every LCTH Catering Trailer is supplied with a fire blanket located within easy reach.
