It is important for all employers and their employees to be aware of the different types of fall protection equipment available for use in order to be able to select the correct equipment for the work at height task.
We regularly install safety systems on large machinery, silos, hoppers, conveyors and any other factory plant equipment that requires a safe access system.
Although working at height is a risky activity, there are times when it simply cannot be avoided. At Heightsafe, we advise on the most suitable system.
The terms ‘fall arrest’ and ‘fall restraint’ are now widely used terms to describe the area of Fall Protection but what is the difference between the two?
It is the responsibility of the duty holder, FM company or building owner to ensure site contractors and employees are safe when working at height.
An employer needs to be compliant with Work at Height Regulations, ensuring that the equipment your workers are using is inspected at the right intervals.
We are regularly asked to clarify the legal situation regarding re-testing of fall arrest systems, safety lines and eyebolts.
In addition to the rigorous safety tests we conduct in-house, all our systems and products are tested externally by independent test bodies.
It is an unfortunate fact of life that accidents in the work place do happen. However, many of these could be avoided if employers paid more attention to Health & Safety regulations.
