PLANT PLANET:
OCTOBER 2024

It’s spooky season! And you know what the scariest thing of all is? That’s right! It’s poorly managed health and safety. (You might think that’s a tenuous
link but this is my editor’s note so what can you do.) So, in this safety themed magazine, we here at Plant Planet have plenty for you to sink your teeth into
and further ponder the implications of a well run work site. Our cover story comes to us from Thomas Plant Hire, who detail us everything
there is to know about their OnGrade machine control, to properly aid operators when they’re on the job. We also have two fantastic company profiles; Rouse and Hammerglass. Rouse looks into proper asset management and how it can aid both
foreman and operator, whilst Hammerglass shows us all the importance of proper machine accessories and how windows can genuinely be the difference between life and death. Lovley Lana also talks to us all about mental health and how it should be
considered just as important as all the rules and regulations that accompany H&S. She is also the reason we have such a fascinating Industry Corner, as Lana was kind enough to let me tag along to the Women in Construction Day at KH Plant
Training, where head trainer Kieron Honeyman tells us the inspiration behind offering open training days to the general public. Alongside all this, we have the latest news, feature articles and incredible show
reviews and previews!Distract yourself from the terror of the season with our jampacked mag and learn some important information along the way.

Rouse Brings Market
Intelligence to the UK & Europe

What are some methods hire and
construction companies can use to
set themselves apart and outpace the
competition? In many cases, it’s a multi
million-pound question. The most productive
start to carving a path toward success
is gaining a better understanding of how
you are doing business today and how your
decisions relate to the broader market.

KH Plant Training

I’ll tell you something guys… The thing I love most about my job is the
opportunity to meet some truly amazing people.
Sure, I get to drive cool planet machinery, and jet-set everywhere, and literally
fulfil my lifelong dream of being a writer. But, honestly, it’s the people that truly
make this the dream job.
This month’s Industry Corner was already off to an amazing start. I was staying
with our lovely Lana in North Wales, chinwagging the time away, and excited
to go on our first road trip together. Anything Lana puts her hand to has me
excited; Lana is nothing if not discerning yet eager. I’m not really sure what
I expected as we headed on over to Doncaster at the simply ‘lovely’ time of
4:30AM, but what I can say without a shadow of a doubt, is that it exceeded all
expectations…
