Fall Protection Equipment & Accessories
Importance of Fall Protection
According to OSHA, falls from heights are among the most common workplace injuries, often leading to lost time, serious injury, hospitalization, or even death. A well-rounded fall protection program includes proper equipment, regular inspections, appropriate PPE, and ongoing training to mitigate these risks.
Key Components of Fall Protection
- Fall Harness: A fall harness is essential when working from heights. We provide a variety of harnesses in different sizes, brands, and types to suit your specific needs. Additionally, we can assist with conducting regularly scheduled inspections to ensure the ongoing safety of your equipment.
- Lanyard: The lanyard is a critical link between the harness and the anchor point. We offer a wide range of lanyards, including standard, self-retracting, and fall limiters, to meet the diverse needs of different work environments.
- D-Ring: Often overlooked, D-rings come in various types designed to support different weight levels and movement requirements. Ensuring the proper combination of harness, lanyard, and D-ring is vital when assembling your fall protection system.
- Accessories: To complete your fall protection kit, we offer a variety of accessories, such as tool and glove leashes and hard hat straps. These accessories are designed to enhance the overall effectiveness and safety of your fall protection program.
Training & PPE Considerations
1. Training:
Training is one of the most effective preventative measures an employer can implement to reduce fall-related incidents. Proper and ongoing training helps employees understand the risks and the correct usage of fall protection equipment, which can prevent future injuries and mistakes.
2. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
Not all PPE is suitable for working at heights. It’s crucial to evaluate whether the PPE being used offers adequate protection when working from elevations. Consider whether the equipment stays securely in place, allows for unrestricted movement, and provides the necessary grip to ensure safety while working at height.
