It was a pleasure to join Kilnbridge at their Safety Stand Down Day last week on the A57 project, bringing teams together to focus on what matters most – keeping people safe at work.

At Stanley, we're passionate about helping businesses create safer, healthier workplaces, so it was a great opportunity to showcase some of the innovative solutions designed to support workforce wellbeing and reduce the risk of injury.

Our Managing Director, Graham Sharp, introduced WEAR, while Andre Jutel demonstrated our exoskeleton range, giving the Kilnbridge team the opportunity to see the technology in action and try the solutions for themselves.

It was fantastic to see such positive engagement, with plenty of interesting conversations around how these solutions can make a real difference to people working in physically demanding roles.

The day rounded off with awards recognising those making a positive contribution to safety, followed by some well-earned pizza from the onsite pizza truck!

A big thank you to Kilnbridge for inviting us to be part of such a worthwhile event. It's always encouraging to see organisations taking a proactive approach to workplace safety and investing time in exploring practical ways to protect their people.

A single moment can change someone’s life. ⚠️

Forklift collisions remain a serious risk in busy warehouses, but the right safety measures can help prevent them.

🚧 Forklift collision avoidance systems can help businesses:

• Detect potential collisions before they happen
• Alert operators to nearby pedestrians and hazards
• Reduce the risk of workplace injuries
• Create a safer environment for everyone on site

Technology alone can’t eliminate every risk, but it can make a real difference when combined with proper training and safe working practices.

Could better visibility and earlier warnings help protect your people?

You're still manual handling items?

The Sprinter Pro series makes moving heavy loads look easy.

Check out the video below, which shows a 300kg boiler being transported safely down the stairs on a Sprinter Pro 310 powered stair climber.👇

Not only was the move completed in under one minute, but neither the boiler, or the worker, [in this case our trainer Paul] were damaged during the process.

Protect your team AND the load that you are carrying.

What if manual handling training isn't your biggest opportunity to reduce injuries?

Training is vital, but it only works if employees can consistently apply it in real working conditions.

The reality is that many businesses still rely on observations, paperwork and occasional assessments to understand ergonomic risk.

❔But what happens between those assessments?
❔Which tasks are creating the highest physical strain?
❔Which teams are most at risk?
❔And how do you measure whether your interventions have actually reduced that risk?

That's why more organisations are using DATA to complement traditional health and safety practices, giving them a clearer picture of where injuries are most likely to occur before they happen.

🎥 Watch the video below to see how wearable technology is helping businesses move from reactive to proactive injury prevention.

We are looking forward to being a part of The Surgeon Show in 2027 - we met some amazing people at the event this year.

Bringing together the people shaping how surgical services are planned, delivered and improved across the UK, the event already has 50 speakers confirmed!

The programme will examine the clinical, operational and technological changes affecting surgery, from robotics and artificial intelligence to workforce development, training and NHS capacity.

Stanley will be showcasing a range of exoskeletons that are currently being used in many theatres across the UK.
See how other surgeons are using the technology to reduce fatigue during lengthy procedures.

Behind the scenes at Stanley 🎥
Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming Fountains Media for a filming day focused on our Sprinter powered stair climber range, including the brand-new Sprinter Pro 500 with its AI-powered technology.
Keeping our content fresh is important, especially as our technology continues to evolve. It gives us the opportunity to showcase the latest developments, demonstrate our solutions in action and share more of what Stanley has to offer.
Here’s a little look behind the scenes… 👀

When the job is physically demanding, the solution shouldn’t just be “work harder.

Construction teams carry, lift, bend and twist thousands of times. Over time, those repetitive movements can place significant strain on the body.

So what happens when you look at the task differently?

We recently worked with Holcim to explore how exoskeleton technology could support employees carrying out repetitive manual handling tasks.

Rather than simply putting a product on and hoping for the best, our experts looked at how the work was actually being done. Assessing movement patterns, repetitive tasks and where support could make the biggest difference.

The result? A trail and full application of the HAPO Back exoskeleton, a with a member of the Holcim team using it during demanding concrete testing and manual handling activities.

His experience was clear: reduced lower-back strain, improved lifting technique and greater comfort throughout the working day.

For us, that’s what ergonomic technology should be about.

Not technology for technology’s sake.
Not a one-size-fits-all solution.
Understanding the person, understanding the task, and finding the right solution.

Back to basics. Because expertise is built on experience.

Our Stanley team recently got together for a refresher training day, getting hands-on with the equipment and safety technology we work with every day.

From getting hands-on with exoskeleton technology, to exploring the latest developments in forklift collision avoidance, seeing how Wear can transform manual handling tasks and getting practical and putting our powered stair climbers through their paces.

For our more office-based team, it was a chance to step away from the desk and get back to the equipment — understanding how each solution works in practice, the tasks it is designed to support and the difference the right technology can make to the people using it.

Because at Stanley, it’s not simply about supplying equipment. It’s about understanding the task, identifying the challenge and finding the right solution for the people, environment and way of working.

It is great to see a variety of job roles from a huge range of industries adopting this technology here in the UK.

Exoskeletons are a staple of science-fiction films, from “Aliens” to “Avatar”. Now modest versions are proving surprisingly useful in reality—and not just to the injured and disabled bit.ly/4yoqcrR
