Tandemloc Wins the North Carolina State Safety Award! |
A proud
day at Tandemloc as Production and Safety Manager
Curt Pope was awarded the Safety and Health
Achievement Recognition Program Certificate by the
North Carolina Commissioner of Labor, Cherie
Berry. This auspicious visit by Commissioner Berry
highlighted Tandemloc's efforts to develop and
maintain a safe working environment spearheaded by
the ever diligent Mr. Pope.
We're very proud of Curt's achievements and
recognition and his great efforts to make Tandemloc a
safer and better place to work. Our products and
production are just too heavy-duty and would be
dangerous if we did not take safety into account at
every step. Thanks to our safety-conscious people,
that's just what we do.

The 5
Basic Guidelines of Heavy Equipment Use:
- Know how to properly operate the equipment you
are using.
- Do not use heavy machinery when you are drowsy,
intoxicated, or taking prescription medication that
may affect your performance.
- Use only equipment that is appropriate for the
work to be done.
- Inspect your equipment to ensure that it is in
good working condition before beginning a job. In
addition, ensure that regular inspections and
maintenance are conducted as appropriate.
- Do not stress or overload your equipment.
- Replace missing or worn parts
with genuine Tandemloc parts in order to be certain
lifter strength and function is adequate and safe.
- Make sure all pins and lanyards
are fully inserted and connected as well as bolts
and nuts fully engaged to avoid dropping the load.
- Make sure you read the
specifications and use information before using the
equipment.
- When in doubt, call Tandemloc for
assistance.
