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.
