The ‘safety backpack’ is then rented by Nacanco with the machine, but can also be purchased by the customer. In the case of rental, all of the devices contained in the backpack, receive a full inspection and any required maintenance on its return.

The company said: “Unfortunately in our country, the safety culture is still rather neglected. Despite the existing legislation which is absolutely precise on this subject, especially for small businesses and artisans. The larger construction companies are more scrupulous, but can still neglect the most basic rules, with the dramatic results that are unfortunately transmitted to us almost daily in the news.”
