the. main. guiding. principle. of.

has.always.been.the.highest.quality.

this.way.at.their.sheffield.site
every. single. roll. of. estate. brand.
stock.fencing.is.manufactured.with.a.
centreless.roll.this.means.that.the.
fencing.will.roll.out.quicker.and.more.
easily. than. other. material. without.
snagging.or.trying.to.wind.back.up.
again. this. will. save. the. time. and.
effort. often. wasted. wrestling. with.
the. end. of. a. roll. when. erecting.
fencing
arcelormittal.believe.that.by.correctly.
tensioning. the. wire. as. it. goes. into.
the.machine.the.fencing.will.come.
out.correctly.tensioned.as.a.fence.
this.will.mean.no.bagginess.when.
erecting. meaning. a. tighter,. more.
durable.fence.
the.deep.crimp.that.is.put.into.the.
horizontal. wires. will. also. enable.
speedy. erection. it. will. also. allow.
for.climatic.elasticity;.the.fence.should.
be.as.straight.on.a.cold.winters.day.
as.the.middle.of.summer
the.2life.Zinc/aluminium.coating.used.
on.the.wire.means.that.arcelormittal.
sheffield.are.the.only.manufacturer.to.
guarantee.that.their.fencing.will.last.
twice.as.long.as.fencing.made.from.
wire.galvanised.to.bs.en.10244-2.
class.a.it.is.this.special.coated.wire.
that. is. supplied. from. their. parent.
company;. part. of. arcelormittal,.
which.is.the.largest.steel.company.
in.the.world.
as.part.of.their.commitment.to.the.
quality.of.the.fence,.all.of.the.estate.
2life. Ht. fencing. is. supplied. with.
4life. wire. on. the. top. and. bottom.
wires.it.is.these.wires.that.bear.the.
brunt.of.weathering.and.so.are.likely.
to. corrode. at. the. fastest. rate. by.
using.the.longest.life.wire.possible.

Assistance and Guidance to the fencing and landscaping industry
wishing to receive external Health and Safety accreditation
i. recently. received. a. telephone. call.
from.the.efia.regarding.HaVs.and.the.
comment. was. made,. that. not. many.
understand.what.it.is.all.about.so.to.
ensure.that.all.fencing.news.readers.
do.know.what.HaVs.is,.i.will.use.this.
opportunity.to.enlighten.readers
HaVs,. is. the. abbreviation. used. to.
describe.Hand.arm.Vibration.syndrome.
this. is. the. condition. caused. by. the.
transmission. of. vibration. from. work.
processes. into. workers. hands. and.
arms. the. vibration. can. come. from.
many. sources. such. as. hand. held.
breakers,. drills,. grinders,. chainsaws.
as. well. as. hand. guided. equipment,.
such.as.lawnmowers.other.sources,.
which.are.often.overlooked,.are.from.
holding. materials. which. are. being.
processed,.such.as.pedestal.drills.or.
grinders
it. must. be. stressed. that. occasional.
expose.is.unlikely.to.cause.permanent.
health. effects,. it. is. the. regular. and.
frequent.exposure.to.hand.arm.vibration.
that.can.lead.to.the.more.permanent.
and.debilitating.health.issues
so.what.is.HaVs?.it.is.a.collective.range.
of.conditions.as.well.as.specific.diseases.
such.as.carpal.tunnel.syndrome.early.
symptoms.can.include.(individually.or.
combined).aching,.tingling,.pins.and.
needles,. pain. and. numbness. in. the.
hand. and. fingers,. lack. of. feeling,.
lack. of. strength,. fingers. going. white.
(blanching). and. becoming. red. on.
recovery. particularly. the. tips. and.
especially.in.the.cold.and.wet.in.time.

sYmPtoms
these.symptoms.are.likely.to.spread.to.
the.arms.and.shoulders.the.symptoms.
are. caused. by. damage. to. the. blood.
vessels,.nerves.and.joints
one.of.the.difficulties.of.HaVs.is.that.
the.effect.on.different.people.can.be.
significant.some.operators.may.begin.
to.experience.symptoms.after.only.a.few.
months.exposure,.where.others.may.
have.no.symptoms.for.several.years.
one.thing.that.is.sure,.is.that.after.the.
initial.symptoms.are.noticed,.continued.
exposure.will.make.the.condition.worse.
and.possibly.permanent
the. long. term. effects. of. HaVs. are.
often.debilitating.and.lifelong.imagine.
continuous. pain. and. sleeplessness,.
inability.to.do.fine.work.or.everyday.
tasks.(fastening.buttons),.reduced.ability.
to.work.outside.in.the.damp.or.cold.
as.well.as.diminished.strength.of.grip.
(possibly.a.safety.issue).naturally,.this.
will.impact.upon.the.type.of.work.a.
sufferer. could. do. as. well. as. leisure.
activities
this.little.known.condition.can.have.
significant.long.term.issues.that,.several.
years. ago,. were. little. understood. or.
controlled.certainly.in.my.early.years.in.
plant.hire,.we.were.hiring.out.equipment.
without.any.vibration.dampening.and.
i.am.sure.we.can.all.remember.seeing.
road.workers.breaking.concrete.day.in.
and.day.out
interestingly,.it.was.not.until.1985.that.
the.condition.was.officially.designated.
as.a.prescribed.disease.in.the.uK!
naturally,.workers.in.the.fencing.industry.
will.come.into.contact.with.equipment.
and.processes.that.will.lead.to.vibration.
exposure.and.employers.will.need.to.
implement.measures.to.control.this
the.legislation.covering.this.is.the.control.
of.Vibration.at.work.Regulations.2005.
and.(in.prcis).requires.employers.to:
Assess the vibration
risk to employees
Decide if they are likely to
be exposed above the daily
Exposure Action Value (EAV)
Decide if they are likely to
be exposed above the daily
Exposure Limit Value (ELV)
Provide information and
training to employees
Consult with employees
Record the vibration risk
assessment and control actions
Maintain records for employees
under health surveillance
Review risk assessment regularly
the.eaV,.is.the.daily.amount.of.vibration.
exposure.above.which.employers.are.
required. to. take. action. to. control.
exposure
the.elV.is.the.maximum.amount.of.
vibration.exposure.an.employee.may.
be.exposed.to.on.any.single.day

that,.instead.of.going.into.the.family.

in.Hampshire.
Having.grown.up.alongside.his.fathers.

Henry.knew.that,.although.interested.in.
the.industry,.he.much.preferred.working.
outdoors...i.began.fencing.at.the.age.
of.18,.working.for.some.of.my.dads.
clients. and. the. business. grew. from.
there,.Henry.explains..when.i.was.
younger.i.competed.in.tetrathlons,.an.
event. involving. shooting,. swimming,.
cross-country.jumping.on.horseback.
and.running.i.also.grew.up.with.horses,.
so. when. i. began. fencing. it. seemed.
only.natural.to.specialise.in.equestrian.
fencing.
the.majority.of.Henrys.contracts.are.
either.post.and.rail.or.post.and.wire.

Manufacturers of Timber Drying Kilns for over 30 years
Over the last three years, the fencing sector has become an increasingly
important market for Kiln Services Ltd. With many companies installing
kilns to ensure they obtain the correct penetrations and chemical loading
by drying down to fbre saturation point prior to treatment. This helps to
ensure that the preservative impregnation standards of BS8417:2011 can
be achieved and in particular where the minimum desired service life of
15 years defned in the Standard is required for components destined
for Use Class 4 (ground contact) applications. The lack of preservative
penetration and loading is almost always related to a high mosture
content in timber prior to treatment.
When drying species that are classed as resistant to treatment such
as spruce, care should be taken not to dry below the fbre saturation
point; a fnal moisture of 33% usually provides the best results. Drying
programmess should be modifed to ensure maximum temperatures do
not exceed 65 centigrade, with relative humidity no lower than 55%.
These programmess will extend the drying time but avoid the outer layers
drying too quickly leading to pit closure and a resistance to penetration.

Although there is obviously a cost in removing a proportion of the
moisture content prior to treatment, this is minimal when compared with
the replacement and installation of a failed product, but just as important,
the possibility of customers turning to other less sustainable materials
due to a misguided lack of confdence in timber, for those companies
producing waste wood by products, the renewable heat incentive
also opens up new opportunities for reducing drying costs. For more
information please contact Kiln Services Ltd.

the.new.t870.compact.tracked.loader.

the.first.project.for.the.new.machine.was.

from.the.site,.owner.giuseppe.salemme,.
explained.the.reasons.for.buying.the.

of.applications.in.which.the.versatility.
of. the. equipment. is. a. crucial. factor.
in.addition.to.several.types.of.larger.

has. proved. very. useful. in. numerous.
applications.
in.light.of.the.type.of.work.we.carry.
out,. we. were. looking. for. a. machine.
that.was.not.only.easy.to.transport.in.
terms.of.weight.and.size,.but.was.also.
capable.of.operating.in.situations.where.
greater.power.and.traction.than.that.
offered.by.the.s250.is.required.
another.highly.important.aspect.that.
convinced.us.to.buy.this.machine.was.
the.boom.design.on.the.t870,.which.
allows.the.machine.to.load.a.truck.with.
high.spill.guards.without.a.problem.
also,.the.great.stability.that.the.tracks.
offer.is.a.vital.factor.ensuring.safety.and.
security.in.transporting.loads.with.forks,.
even.on.very.uneven.ground
the.t870.compact.tracked.loader.offers.
a.unique.working.environment.for.the.
operator.that.sets.it.apart.from.the.rest.
with.a.30%.improvement.in.all-round.
