Everyday we read stories about how people are injured while they were working at height, or we see a story about people who show complete disregard to health and safety regulations which results in putting themselves and others in an incredible amount of danger.
It is important that when you are required to work at height, you do so responsibly, not just for your own safety, but for others too. By following these 3 safety measures you and other around you will remain safe:
Fall Arrest Blocks
When you are working at height, it is essential that you are protecting yourself and minimising the risks of slips and falls from height. Fall Arrest blocks are a retractable lifeline, generally made from wire rope, which is stored within a case containing an inertia reel.
In the unfortunate event of a fall, the wire rope is pulled out of the block until it reaches critical velocity, which is when the breaking system locks, preventing you from falling any further. Our Fall arrest blocks all have a shock-absorbing system built in preventing you from getting hurt.
Here at SafetyLiftinGear, we sell a variety of Fall Arrest blocks, so when you are purchasing, please ensure you have selected the correct Block for the required task.

Safety Harnesses
When you are working at height, a safety harness most be worn at all times. We know that they are not the most fashionable of accessories, but they are lifesaving.
If you are working at height, make sure that you are using a harness attached to one of the fall arrest blocks we mentioned above. This will protect you from injury in the off chance you fall whilst working at height.
Here at SafetyLiftinGear we sell a huge variety of safety harnesses, from the basic fall arrest harnesses, through to the more specialist, multipurpose harnesses, insulated harnesses and flame resistant harnesses.

Dropping your tools from a height can have some dire consequences. Firstly, You could end up damaging any equipment or machines that are directly below where you are working, which could end up with some costly repairs for your company. Secondly, you could end up damaging your tool, rendering it useless so you will have to pay to get it replaced. Thirdly, and most importantly, you could end up fatally injuring a member of the public or a workmate.
To prevent creating a hazard it is essential that you use a Tool Lanyard. We supply a huge range of top quality tool lanyards.

It is a truly amazing project, one which we at SafetyLiftinGear are proud to help by providing lifting and material handling equipment.
When it comes to purchasing lifting equipment it is tempting to purchase second hand lifting gear to help cut your company costs. While it is understandable why many companies would chose to invest in second hand lifting equipment because it is a lot cheaper than buying brand new equipment, it is not something that we at SafetyLiftinGear recommend.
Even though there is a great deal of reputable second hand lifting equipment dealers out there, there are also a lot of deals who handle substandard equipment. This could mean that you may end up with some untested, unsuitable and above all else, unsafe lifting equipment. This could end up causing damage to machinery or fatal injuries if the equipment fails.
Here at SafetyLiftinGear we strongly recommend you either buy brand new lifting equipment or hire your lifting gear from a reputable company:
