Why choose Ri?

1) “Why do I need a cabinet at all?”
A news security cabinet is the last link in the delivery chain to you. News is one of your essential stock items and you need it dry, in good condition and not stolen. Surely, you wouldn’t let any of your other stock items be so poorly treated. You also want your news delivered to a close point that can be accessed SAFELY, early in the morning. All wholesalers recommend a cabinet if you can’t GUARANTEE that you can be there to receive your delivery 365 days a year. A cabinet also means that your valuable returns are kept safe overnight. Yet another reason is that wholesalers will not allow credits for lost deliveries if you don’t have an approved cabinet. Finally, did you know that 50% of shop fires are caused by arson – leaving flammable materials around is inviting trouble.

2) “Why is health and safety a big issue when selecting a news security cabinet?”
All manual lifting and handling should be done with a straight back. Other news security cabinets have a top lid that you must lean into and bend your back to pull heavy loads up and out. With packages weighing about 17 kilos, you can see why handling news is one of the biggest causes of injury in shops. Employers have to make a written risk assessment of workplace hazards to confirm that all equipment can be used safely. To avoid costly injuries, follow best practice recommendations and fit a cabinet with a front-opening door and a flat loading bed.

3) “OK I need a cabinet! Why an Ri cabinet? Aren’t all cabinets secure, safe and meet the recommendations?”
The simple answer is: “No they don’t.” SAFETY: Ri cabinets fully meet manual-handling regulations, can be loaded and unloaded safely and satisfy a risk assessment. SECURITY: Ri cabinets have multi-point locking, a high-security lock and strengthening to prevent being levered open.

4) “What do I get as standard with an Ri cabinet that I don’t get with anything else?”
