Safety provides extra profitability
The German trade association BG Bau is working hard to prevent injuries at the workplace. As a part of this work, discounts are being provided on safe quick hitches. engcon’s Q-Safe is included in this category, maximising the contractor’s safety at the same time as minimising the cost. The discount is up to 50 per cent of the cost, or a maximum of EUR 1,800 per unit. In total, a company can get up to EUR 20,000 in discounts per year.
