Safe Handling & Installation

A number of items within our Natural Paving product range are heavy or awkward in shape to lift. We recommend that when moving pieces over 25kg, more than one person helps in completing the lift. With the larger plan sizes in some of our ranges, its simply not possible for installation to be carried out by one person and in addition, we would recommend you look into hiring or purchasing appropriate vacuum lifting equipment.

Furthermore, we would also recommend that gloves, safety boots with steel toe caps and oil-resistant soles, ear defenders and protective clothing should be worn. When cutting our products, suitable eye and ear protection must be also worn. Always ensure that suitable respiratory protection is worn to avoid the inhalation of dust particles produced by high-speed cutting devices. Training may be needed to operate certain equipment; it is your responsibility to ensure this takes place where necessary.

We recommend you read the technical guide and safety data sheet before working with any of our products. These are found on the individual product pages and within our Knowledge Hub.

With all Pavetuf products, follow the guidance on the label and wear the appropriate eye and respiratory protection when working with chemicals.
