Safety and protection in a health care environment, such as a hospital, care home or pharmacy, is essential for the wellbeing of residents and staff members. Storage for medical equipment can play a big part in this, further protecting everyone in an establishment from the harm or potential risks of poorly stored equipment.
To keep safe in your working environment and to protect everyone around you, here are a few simple rules you should follow, including how you can use some Hupfer products to store and manage your medical equipment effectively.
Ensure you have the correct storage
Simply placing medical equipment on a bare shelf won’t create a secure environment for other staff members, patients or residents. It’s essential that you use the right storage equipment to safely store away medical equipment when not in use.
Here at Hupfer, we have a wide range of medical storage equipment for peace of mind. Our stationary shelving is perfect for storage rooms to keep potentially dangerous stock out of reach and to organise your medical equipment in a way that works for you and your establishment.
In some instances, you may need to transport a variety of equipment to other departments. To ensure this is done in a safe and secure manner, our mobile shelving is also worth a look!
Maintain the correct temperatures
As medical professionals, you’ll know and understand that certain pieces of medical equipment need to be kept at a certain temperature at all times. The performance of our storage equipment for the medical industry isn't affected by warm or cool temperatures, so wherever you need your storage, you can be confident our products will deliver.
To ensure temperatures are maintained, use smart thermostats which can be controlled remotely. Set alarms to alert staff when a temperature rises or falls so your equipment is always safe. Our storage equipment can help to organise your medical equipment in these temperature controlled areas, even transporting this equipment when needed.

Keep medical equipment storage secure
Medical equipment can include potentially dangerous items if landed in the wrong hands, so keeping all equipment stored away securely is a crucial daily step. Your own medical team may already have a system in place to keep medical equipment safe, such as organising your storage and shelving space and keeping equipment in locked or alarmed rooms or cupboards.
To ensure your medical equipment is stored safely, our range of baskets and containers are perfect to hold items in place, either in storage or during transportation.
