Ergodyne Squids® Power Tool Trap™ Tool Tether System
Dropped objects present a risk of significant injury or fatality (SIF) during simultaneous operations where personnel perform work at heights. Barricades and tool tethers provide dual layers of safety mitigation to reduce risk to personnel.
Passive Guardrails for Fall Protection (Non-Anchored Guardrail Systems)
Workers in shipyards and marine construction are routinely exposed to serious fall hazards. Installing guardrails is an effective means of protecting workers from open deck hatches, tank access openings, and trenches, and unprotected edges throughout the duration of the job.
Suspension Trauma Straps for Fall Arrest
Workers at height in industrial and maritime environments rely on full-body fall arrest harnesses as a critical last line of defense. However, a fall event does not end the hazard – a worker suspended in a harness while awaiting rescue faces a serious and time-sensitive medical risk known as orthostatic intolerance.
Tanker Truck Fall Protection System
The Standfast TRAM system provides a user-friendly, fixed fall protection approach that is quick to install, cost-effective, and well received by the workforce, helping reduce fall exposure by replacing less consistent, temporary methods.
