BS8020 Insulated Tools

About

We stock an extensive range of BS8020 insulated tools, which are essential for road, civil, and utility workers. This is because they significantly reduce the likelihood of receiving a shock should an underground cable carrying live power be struck whilst working. When working around existing infrastructure, you can never be 100% certain that buried cables have been dug into the proper depth or even have warnings correctly applied over them. Every year there are countless incidents where workers are injured or electrocuted by hitting poorly positioned buried cables, and our range of Insulated digging tools is one way to step up safety without any inconvenience. Within our range of insulated hand tools, you will find tools for digging post holes, laying cables, tamping foundations or raking aggregates. All shovels come with a clear BS8020:2011 marking on the shaft and a unique serial number indicating they have passed testing and are fit for purpose. With this range being so safety-critical, we only buy insulated tools from reputable, established manufacturers such as Richard Carters, who have been in business since 1740 with a proven track record for delivering quality products.
