Fall Arrest Equipment & Restraint Gear

About

Reliable Fall Protection Equipment Falls are one of the most common workplace injuries and using the right fall arrest equipment is critical in helping protect workers by either preventing a fall or safely stopping one if it happens. Fall arrest systems are typically used alongside other height safety equipment, such as safety harnesses, anchor points, and connectors. When combined with a piece of kit like a safety harness, they create a safe and secure system that gives your workers the confidence that they are being protected at work. We know how important it is to invest in high-quality fall arrest gear and that’s why we only supply products from the most trusted brands in the industry so our customers can protect their staff while ensuring they remain compliant with working at height safety regulations. Fall Arrest vs Fall Restraint Fall arrest equipment and fall restraint gear are often used together but they serve different purposes. Fall restraint systems stop a fall from happening in the first place, usually by restricting movement using restraint lanyards connected to a secure anchor point. Fall arrest equipment stops a fall once it’s already happened. Using fall arrest blocks and shock-absorbing lanyards help to safely catch the user and reduce impact during a fall. Fall arrest equipment requires full training and, by law, you need to have a well-thought-out rescue plan in place for any event where a fall may occur. This will enable any users who fall to be retrieved quickly and safely.
