Construction projects in Gauteng move fast, and delays caused by having the wrong machine on site are entirely avoidable.

If you work in a factory, a lab, a warehouse, or anywhere that uses chemicals, you have probably walked past an eye wash station without giving it much thought. Most people do. It sits there on the wall or near a workbench, and nobody pays attention to it until the day something goes wrong. And …
