Warehouse & Storage - 4 Secure Self Storage
A self storage company in Norfolk discovered the benefits of fragment retention lamps after a customer nearly smashed an unprotected fluorescent lamp. 4 Secure Self Storage in Thetford had previously used open batten fluorescent fixtures, meaning the lamp was vulnerable to impact damage, potentially scattering glass over a wide area and causing damage to property as well as injury to staff and customers.
This close call raised a health and safety issue that Managing Director Simon Long was keen to rectify.

"The customer was moving a wardrobe and very nearly smashed an open fluorescent tube. I could see the potential for damage and litigation, so I quickly searched for a solution. I was delighted to find the simple solution was to install GlassGuard BlackBand® lamps which eliminated the problem. I now have total peace of mind that customers and their stored goods are protected from injury and glass contamination in the event of any accidents." |
GlassGuard® Sales Director Chris Payne explains: "All our lamps, from standard T8 and T5 fluorescent in all colours to UVA insect lamps, benefit from a BS EN 61549 standard shatterproof coating thus making the fragment retention lamps best practice for HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point). The shatterproof lamps also play an important role in any public place, especially at times when lamps are vulnerable, such as during fitting and maintenance. With shatterproof lamps in place, the plastic coating will contain all glass fragments or phosphor powders that would otherwise disperse in the event of a breakage, protecting the surrounding area from dangerous contamination."
