You can successfully increase the safety and security of your site by using guardrails around your site to eliminate potential hazards.
Freedom of movement
Fall arrest equipment allows workers to flexibly navigate sites and perform duties wherever they need to be with ease and peace of mind that they will be fully-protected from falling or sustaining damaging injuries. This allows workers to avoid danger points, where a fall could occur, such as along the edge of a roof. However, if a fall were to occur, the worker could perform a quick self-rescue or be rescued by others using our safe and secure fall arrest equipment.
Navigate your site with ease
When managing important projects, it is vital to use fall arrest safety equipment when your workers require the use of rope access to navigate hard-to-reach areas. Implementing scaffolding across a site can become laborious and highly-challenging due to the large sizes of many sites and the necessary scaffolding that would be required throughout the site and surrounding environment.
Fall arrest equipment provides a compact and effective alternative method of protecting sites in a constructive manner, without requiring large amounts of surrounding space and laborious construction, unlike extensive scaffolding. Fall arrest equipment uses specialist materials to protect all on-site personnel from the consequences of falling, providing workers with safety and security so that they can concentrate on performing their duties without unnecessary distractions.
