Working as a rigger in the live entertainment industry often means working at height. Whether they're setting up lighting rigs, building stage sets, or dismantling everything after the show has finished, event rigging professionals spend a lot of time far above the ground.
 
This means that height safety is naturally a very important consideration in this line of work. Riggers routinely rely on safety harnesses and other types of fall prevention equipment while working - after all, a single slip can result in severe injury or even death when you're that high up, so it's important to have these safety measures in place.
 
But it's not just the workers themselves who are at risk of falling. If you were to drop a tool - such as a spanner or a torch - from the top of a very tall lighting rig, the dropped item could well cause a lot of damage upon reaching the ground (especially if someone happened to be standing in its way).

How to prevent tools from falling

However, just as a rigger will usually wear a harness when working at height, there are products you can buy to protect your tools and equipment from falls as well. Here at SafetyLiftinGear, we stock a wide range of equipment lanyards that can be used to attach all kinds of different tools to your person when working at height.
 
 
Most of our equipment lanyards are compatible with a wide range of tools (such as spanners, hammers, screwdrivers, et cetera). However, some of the products in our tool lanyard range are specifically designed for one tool in particular: 
Not only do our equipment lanyards make the workplace a safer environment for everyone, they are also very handy - it's very inconvenient when you're working at height and you have to stop and go down to fetch the spanner you just dropped!

Happy New Year everyone! We hope you had a restful Christmas break and that you're feeling energised and optimistic for 2017.
 
If you saw a programme called A Big Lego Christmas on Channel 4 over the holidays, there's a chance you may have spotted our G-Force P10 safety harness kit in use:
 
Safety Harness Kit on TV
 
This fully adjustable safety harness is great for staying safe when working at height. In the picture above, the P10 is being worn by a worker on a cherry picker as he helps to construct a working Lego replica of London's iconic Tower Bridge. If you saw the TV show, you'll know that the completed model broke the record for the world's largest Lego structure - it stood 42ft high, and consisted of more than 5.8 million bricks!
 
Safety harness kit
 
Our P10 safety harness is comfortable, flexible, and extremely hard-wearing. It comes in three different sizes, and it's ideal for all sorts of elevated working environments. If you buy or hire the full safety harness kit, you'll also get a kernmantle rope lanyard with screw gate karabiner for easy anchoring.

Roller Crowbar
 
Quite often, the most difficult of transporting a heavy object isn't lifting and moving it - which is easy enough if you've got the right material handling equipment - but getting underneath the object in the first place. It's all well and good having a forklift or a pallet truck, put if the load you're moving don't have much in the way of ground clearance, you'll have to manually load the goods onto the forks yourself. And that can be a pain in more ways than one.
 
Fortunately, our material handling range contains a straightforward solution to this common problem: roller crowbars!
 
Roller Crowbars
 
These wheeled crowbars are easy to manoeuvre around the warehouse, and they can get in underneath loads with even the most minimal ground clearance. Once that's done, you can simply wheel your low-to-the-ground goods to wherever they need to be.
 
But the roller crowbar isn't the only handy item in this section of our website! We also stock the Roller Pinch Bar (compact and lightweight - also available to hire).
