UPDATE 6-12-2011

It would appear that this news item has upset a few people because since it was posted, we have attracted quite a bit of attention including a quite offensive review that someone attempted to post on our website from IP address 49.190.16.224.  We will continue to post updates until this matter is given the attention it deserves.

If you work in any level of Goverment, in a Goverment Department or Agency, School, University or business, you need to read this and let your colleagues know. 

The Low Profile Cable Magagement System continues to lead the way with regulatory compliance and the CableMate Cable cover for carpet is the ONLY cable cover of it's kind in Australia that complies with mandatory federal Product Safety Regulations, Australian and International Standards.

While there are a number of other similar products on the Market, products like the Safcord, Tripsafe and the new copycat on the market Allsafe Cable Cover DO NOT COMPLY with the mandatory federal Product Safety Regulations and DO NOT COMPLY with Australian or International Standards. As they don't comply with mandatory Product Safety Regulations, they are being sold to unsuspecting customers illegally according to the regulator. More particularly, the popular Safcord is actually a prohibited import according to the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service and should NOT be sold in Australia.

We have spent tens of thousands of dollars on research, development and Product Safety Compliance so we know that it's not as simple as sewing a bit of velcro to some fabric and posting an ad on Google. Fabric Cable Covers are a simple solution to a common problem but unfortunately, the people manufacturing and selling them appear to think that they're a simple product.

Don't risk it! If you are caught using or supplying your employees with non compliant safety products Workcover have the ability to impose substantial fines and penalties against you and your company/ business. If you're a retailer or reseller of these non compliant products the ACCC and state Consumer Affairs agencies have the ability to impose substantial fines against you or your business.

If you're a local, state or federal goverment department or agency you should, where regulations or standards apply, be purchasing products that comply.
