We are the number one in Romania in the implementation of collective and individual solutions for working at height with an experience of over 20 years.
• Dropped tools and objects are the second highest cause of workplace fatalities
• On average 16 people a year are killed by drops
• The majority of the victims are co-workers working at a lower level, or ground level
• Over 714,000 man hours lost last year due to injuries caused by dropped tools and objects
Other solutions
There is a 3 step process to correct tool tethering:
- 1. The first step in the tethering process is to create Tether Point (this is a load rated point on the tool that allows you to connect your lanyard to the tool)
- 2. Choose a Lanyard. There are four main types of lanyard, coil, bungee, fixed webbing and retractable – the task and environment will determine which type is best.
- 3. Select an Anchor Point – this is where you attach the other end of the lanyard. Wristbands, work belts, harnesses and fixed objects are all examples of anchor points.
Accidents do happen
• All tool lanyards should be CE marked.
• All tool tethering equipment should have a serial number to ensure that they are trackable and can be properly investigated in the event of any failure.
• All tool tethering equipment should have a visible SWL (safe working load or max load rating).
• All tool tethering equipment should be third party load rated (internal testing is not adequate). Ask for the certificate of testing if in doubt.
