Post date: Nov 30, 2023
Benefits of Buying Australian Safety Storage by Wholesale Safety Storage Australia

As a safety-conscious business owner or manager, it’s crucial to invest in reliable and safety compliant storage solutions for businesses that handle, transport or use dangerous goods. As a consumer/buyer, you have the option to purchase safety storage solutions from international suppliers, or opt for Australian-made and manufactured safety storage solutions.

We will discuss the advantages of choosing Australian-made and manufactured safety storage solutions over international alternatives. Additionally, we will also discuss the importance and significance of adhering to Australian Safety Standards.

 

Why Choose Australian-made and Manufactured Storage Solutions Over International Alternatives?

Benefits of Buying Australian Safety Storage by Wholesale Safety Storage AustraliaThere are a multitude of advantages when you opt for Australian-made and manufactured safety storage solutions over their international alternatives. It is not only advantageous for individual local businesses but also for the Australian economy as a whole.

By supporting local manufacturers, businesses contribute to job creation and economic growth within the country. You can then help bolster the domestic market and stimulate innovation, and enable Australian manufacturers to develop cutting-edge safety storage products that cater to the unique challenges of the Australian environment.

Furthermore, by sourcing your purchases locally, the supply chain becomes more efficient, which in turn reduces lead times. This will then ensure a faster access to goods by other customers in need of safety storage products.

Safety and regulatory compliance laws are stringent in Australia. They are enforced to protect the public, your workers, and the environment from potential risks and dangers. When a business invests in Australian-made safety storage solutions, they can be assured that the products they purchase are compliant with Australian safety standards and regulations. Locally developed and manufactured safety solutions ensure your business remains on the right side of the law and avoid penalties associated with non-compliance.

Furthermore, Australian safety storage suppliers like us at Wholesale Safety Storage Australia (WSSA), prioritise safety in our product selection process. Our products have undergone proper testing and quality assurance checks to meet, and exceed, the country’s standards for safety, compliance, and ethical practices.

Another aspect to put in consideration when purchasing safety storage equipment is if they are made to withstand extreme environmental conditions, varying landscapes where they will be used, and specific local safety requirements. WSSA safety storage solutions address these challenges head on. Local manufacturers are well-versed in designing products that can withstand even the harshest Australian climate and remain functional and safe even in diverse settings.

With a deep understanding of the Australian environment, WSSA incorporates features that are innovative with materials that ensure the longevity and reliability of our safety storage solutions. When you purchase WSSA products, you obtain products that are not only purpose-built, you also get products that are built to thrive in the unique Australian workplace conditions.

 

Australian Safety Standards.

Australian Standards are a set of benchmarks and guidance that specifies the minimum requirement of quality, safety or performance of a product or service. When you buy products or engage services for your business, you’d want to know if they are safe and fit for the purpose you intend to use them for, especially when it comes to warehouse equipment and/or materials.

Do note that even when not in use, hazardous and/or dangerous goods/materials/chemicals can still pose a risk. Some can contribute or cause explosions or fire, injure and/or poison people, damage your property if they are stored unsafely or using substandard storage equipment.

Australian Standards (AS) are voluntary, however, where state governments or the commonwealth refer to AS or the joint Australian and New Zealand standards (AS/NZS), they become mandatory if they are backed by legislation. 

For example, the most recent Australian Standard for steel racking (AS 4084-2012) was introduced to ensure manufacturers consider up-to-date international learnings in application and design for heavy-duty steel structures. It sets out the minimum requirements and responsibilities for all static and closed faced steel storage racking systems installed in Australia.

 

The Importance of Safety Storage that is Compliant with Australian Standards.

Complying with Australian Standards when it comes to safety storage solutions can’t be overrated. Workplace safety is a non-negotiable aspect of any business, especially in Australia, where there are stringent laws to ensure the well-being of employees, the protection of your valuable assets, and protecting the environment.

Australian Standards were developed to set benchmarks for product safety, reliability, and performance. Businesses that invest in safety storage that meets these standards, demonstrate their commitment to creating a secure work environment. 

Overall, the Australian Standards are essential for businesses to comply with legal requirements, maintain a high level of safety, and deliver reliable products and services to customers. As a result of these standards, trust and confidence are fostered among consumers, and a level playing field is promoted for businesses within the Australian market.

1. Faster Speed to Market.

When businesses opt for Australian-made safety storage solutions like what we offer at WSSA, you can bypass the lengthy delays often associated with international shipping and customs procedures.

Tailgate Delivery Terms and Conditions

Any additional handling or manoeuvring to get the items in to position that requires specialised equipment, such as a tailgated truck or a truck mounted forklift, is not covered by any free freight offers.

For those who are new to freight, a tailgate truck (also known as a tail-lift truck or hydraulic truck) has a rear platform which can be lowered to the ground for convenience when unloading heavy goods.  This is a requirement for unloading freight over 30kg when a forklift is not available on site to unload the delivery vehicle.  Carriers class this as a specialised delivery service, and charge a premium for tailgate deliveries.

Tailgate delivery is to the front door, carport, or closest practical delivery point as deemed by the driver. There must be reasonable vehicle access with height clearance.

Tailgate shipping adds an extra $135 + gst to shipping fees during checkout to cover costs.

NOTE: Selecting the WRONG answer in regards to tailgate shipping means the carrier may be unable to unload your items and may need to re-deliver it.  The Customer will be liable for any further charges for re-delivery should this occur.  Should you have questions or if you are unsure please contact us first.
