One of the most common ways of supporting structures in such projects is with the use of adjustable telescopic steel props. However this type of work is an area – identified by health and safety organisations worldwide in which a large number of accidents occur. Health and Safety organisations have also identified current practices relating to ‘temporary demountable structures’ within the events sector as potentially lacking management consistency resulting in a negative effect on safety.

Propalock is an innovative locking system, fitted to steel props, keeping them secure. Crucially, Propalock should only be operated by a designated site supervisor. This means unauthorised tampering with steel props is impossible – improving health and safety in the workplace.

Health and safety organisations have also identified current practices relating to temporary demountable structures within the events sector as potentially lacking management consistency – resulting in poorer safety.

Propalock is manufactured using engineering grade Polyamide 6 with 30 per cent glass fibre tiller. While preserving quality and strength, the resulting lower manufacturing costs enable mass volume production.

The lower cost, coupled with the product’s quality, will make Propalock more appealing to an ever more cost conscious construction industry. This in turn should lead to Propalock being adopted more readily, resulting in greater use and dramatically improving health and safety
