EVENTS IN FOCUS

Royal Wolf provided construction

company Hansen Yuncken with 70

metres of hoardings to enable safe

passage for over 500 hospital patients,

staff and visitors at the $240 million

redevelopment of Lyell McEwin Hospital

in Adelaide.

With construction next to a four-lane

road, the hoardings had to be installed

on the roadway to maintain pedestrian

access. Royal Wolf hoardings are

independently engineered and certified,

with a 10kPa rating including in-built

concrete road barriers, suited to the

road’s speed limit of 60km/h.

Given site restrictions the flexibility,

durability and efficiency offered by the

Royal Wolf Worksite Solutions range

meant the hoardings could be installed

in less than eight hours. For Hansen

Yuncken the solution did not involve any

construction down-time.

Extra hospital

cover in Adelaide

Formit Services has released its new range

of deodoriser products including the Bio

Deodoriser which contains eight different

strains of bacteria and added enzymes.

According to Formit, regular biocide

products only target solid waste below

water level, however the Ultra Fresh Bio

deodoriser’s bacteria allows the biocide to

work both below water level and also on

breaking down any waste piling that can

occur in overused units.

“The bacteria based deodoriser also

works differently to other chemical based

New range of sanitation products

Formit’s new range of deodoriser products

products by digesting the soil inside the

holding tank and clearing the waste from

the tank walls, making the cleaning of units

an easier process,” Formit Services’ James

Robertson said.

Also included in the new range is Graffix,

a graffiti removal solution for use on

portable toilet fleets, and fresh fragrance

scent discs to mask stubborn odours.

Formit is a wholly-owned Australian

company.

Sani-Hire is putting its Service Technicians/

Drivers though a new certification and

assessment program conducted by Portable

Sanitation Association International, an

organisation devoted to increasing and

developing health and safety standards

within the industry.

“The aim of putting our delivery staff

through the course is to reinforce our

commitment to the new Victorian WorkSafe

recommendations we adhere to with all

our sites and all our vehicles,” Jason Wilson,

Managing Director of Sani-Hire said.

“They’ll be the best qualified technicians

in the business with an eye to detail not

often offered in the past,” Jason said.

“Because the new WorkSafe guidelines

also cover waste-tanks, we’ve made sure

our 12 pumpers are well equipped to

provide the highest level of cleanliness

and hygiene and our drivers are the best

trained.”

In addition to the pumping and rinsing

out of tanks, WorkSafe has recommended

the following items are included with

New staff qualifications in health & safety

any on-site servicing: checking pumps

and components for effective operation;

repairing any defects; adding deodoriser

and treatment chemicals to the sewage

storage tank; refilling the holding tank with

water; replenishing soap or other hand

disinfectant; replacing toilet paper; cleaning

and disinfecting the internal compartment,

including fittings such as pump and door

handles, the floor, seat and bowl.

“We hope the industry as a whole

will continue to evolve and improve

its standards. We’re happy to observe

WorkSafe’s recommendations and see it as

a step forward. And our staff are happy to

take part in the course; it gives them a real

edge,” Jason said.

Sani Hire has a dedicated servicing

division, Sani Servicing, equipped with a

fleet of 14 service vehicles designed for

on-site servicing work across metropolitan

Victoria and NSW. Sani-Hire is also

introducing new tanker signage livery.
