Building a safer rental industry – Interview on the ERA OSH Toolbox

At the European Rental Association (ERA), we remain committed to supporting the health and safety of professionals across the rental industry.

As part of this mission, we sat down with Peter Cavada from CP Consulting – the lead expert behind the development of the ERA OSH Toolbox and former Head of Health & Safety Services at Hilti Group – who worked in close collaboration with a dedicated working group of nine experts from rental companies and rental associations, to explore how rental companies can effectively integrate this valuable resource into their daily operations.

The ERA OSH Toolbox provides companies with ready-to-use templates such as an OSH policy framework, benchmarking tools, accident statistics, and best practice examples—all tailored to the rental sector.

As highlighted in the Executive Summary of the 2025 OSH Report, companies investing in health and safety benefit not only from reduced absence and increased productivity but also from enhanced employee loyalty and improved quality of work.

The Toolbox is structured to help health and safety managers avoid duplicating efforts by offering standardised, adaptable documentation and process tools.
