Clancy has redesigned all its instructional signs and batten end caps. "Signs and batten end caps are at the opposite end of technology, but certainly no less useful or important," comments Tom Young, vice president of marketing for JR Clancy. "We've revamped all of our instructional signs to promote safe rigging operations. These are available free to anyone and we hope everyone takes advantage of them. You can get them as two-colour signs ordered directly from Clancy at no charge as well as downloadable files an end-user can print and use directly from our website."
Clancy has always sent out bright yellow plastic batten end caps to users for covering the ends of standard pipe battens in order to increase visibility. Yet even here Clancy saw an opportunity to address a safety concern as Young explains. "We've now added set capacity information to our batten end caps. This is because far too many users don't know what their set capacities are. By making these new caps available we hope to promote a safer rigging environment." Clancy will send up to ten batten end caps to users for free.
