Tools & DIY Equipment

Tools and equipment used at home or on-site can pose serious risks if faulty, poorly made, or misused.

FOLO-UP separates tools into three key risk categories:

Ladders — frequent cause of falls and injuries, especially non-compliant telescopic models.
Garden Tools — such as hedge trimmers and chainsaws, often lacking safety guards or instructions.
Power Tools — drills, saws, grinders with risks of electric shock, fire, or injury when sold without proper labelling.

Many second-hand or imported tools sold online fail essential safety standards, lack proper UK plugs, or are missing key components.
