When working at height the last thing you want is to fall! We all know that a serious fall could result in you not being able to work for a long time during recovery or worse, a fatality. This is why we use height safety gear.
Classed as personal protection height equipment safety gear is designed with your ergonomics in mind, to protect you and to satisfy lawful requirements and requirements of many insurance companies.
When working at height it is always recommended that the worker be wearing the correct harness and be connected to a fall arrest device incase he or she should fall the fall arrest device if correctly installed will break the fall effectively to minimise any strain on the body, some height safety harnesses also feature tollorances that allows the harness to strech when a fall occurs to almost elastic-ate and break the fall.
There are so many types of harness on today’s market, such as harnesses with integrated high visibility jackets, harnesses designed for women, extra large harnesses, rescue harnesses, riggers harnesses and many more. They should all be delivered with a certificate of conformity showing the standard that they are manufactured to. You should never buy a harness that is unusually cheap or not manufactured to the required safety standards, don’t risk your life, ensure it with high quality height safety equipment.
To complement the range of harnesses you can add one of many lanyards designed for different applications with different end fittings such as snap hooks and attachments designed for scaffold height work.
Latest additions to the height safety range avaliable include the Tractel height safety hat, roof tile anchors, several kit ranges that are designed for certain applications such as working with scaffolds, riggers kits and more. The most popular height safety ranges include Yale and Tractel.
