If you think health and safety has to be complicated – it doesn’t. This site will make it easier for you to comply with the law and manage health and safety in your business.

For many businesses, all that’s required is a basic series of tasks. The site will take you through the steps and help you make sure you have done what you need to – and no more.

Your Account Managers

Posted by howsafe | Company News,Special Services | Friday 20 May 2011 2:59 pm

Your Account Manager has the responsibility to ensure that your account runs smoothly.

They will handle all deliveries, price negotiations (within a 25 mile radius of Peterborough), product demonstrations, size exchanges and any returns. This ultimately makes dealing with howsafe a pleasure as you have one single day-to-day point of contact to handle all your requirements.

Doing business this way removes all the normal hassles you may have experianced with other companies – for instance, what happens when you need to return a product with a supplier that does not use their own transport to make deliveries – the answer, as you know is usually “returns notes” and having to package the consignment back followed by the usual additional credits and invoices ……….. we make things easy for you!

Pictured you can seepeterborough workwear from left to right – Adrian Gretton, Jeremy Godwin, Jon Pennie and Stephen Fairhurst.

New Safety Footwear Range 2011-12

Posted by howsafe | Company News,Health and Safety News | Tuesday 17 May 2011 11:39 am

Within the next two months the brand new Howsafe safety footwear chart will be available from Howsafe, the Peterborough based workwear store.

On the chart you will find new hi-specification safety boots and shoes at ultra competitive prices. Not only that, our focus on job specific styles has improved with new ranges dedicated to workers facing differing hazards – electricians, food industry workers, agricultural workers are just some of the areas that will receive specific footwear.

Ladies – gone are the days of a rather embarrassing range of ladies styles. There are ten dedicated ladies styles on the new chart specifically designed for fit and comfort around ladies foot shapes. To compliment the ladies safety footwear range there are many other unisex styles available from size 3-4 upwards. Our ladies range starts from a rather dainty size 2.

You will also notice a concentration of competitively priced footwear that will allow those with a tighter budget much more choice than ever before.

You will also find many more styles that have been  tested to the highest slip-resistant test (SRC) – and for the first time ever we feature two Goretex fully waterproof styles by Cofra for the ultimate in wet weather protection.

To sum up the new safety footwear range by Howsafe will feature higher specification footwear, a greater choice and more lower priced footwear – all with the aim of maintaining our place as the number 1 footwear supplier in the country.
