ABOUT US
At Abtech Safety, our mission goes beyond supplying safety solutions – we care about empowering workers to excel in environments of elevated risks. Established in 1991, our unwavering commitment revolves around safeguarding those working at heights and within confined spaces. We exist to enable a world where safety isn't a compromise but a fundamental expectation.
Mitigating Risks
We comprehend the challenges inherent in high-risk workplaces. We pledge to mitigate these risks, ensuring every worker returns home unharmed after their shift. We recognise that behind every safety requirement is a person, a family, and a future. When workers are required to venture into hazardous spaces, we aim to instil confidence, reassuring them with equipment and solutions expressly designed for their well-being and protection.
Dependable Solutions
Working at heights or within confined spaces presents an array of complexities. Our objective is to confront these challenges with dependable, top-tier safety solutions. In order to understand the ever-evolving nature of these precarious work environments, Abtech Safety extends beyond equipment supply; we cultivate partnerships. As part of Cresto Alliance, we operate within a network of like-minded safety companies. Our MD is well-connected within the industry and actively campaigns to improve safety standards. We also regularly check in with our extensive distribution network to help improve our solutions and services. This collaborative approach provides invaluable insights, allowing us to tailor our solutions to meet the demands of the industries we proudly serve.
Safer, Together
We envision a future where all height and confined space workers execute their duties with minimal risk; where worksites are secure and workers are shielded. To us, safety isn't just a harness, a lanyard, or an anchor point; it's a commitment. A commitment to care, innovate and safeguard lives through our dedication to excellence.
