When working on a construction site you can guarantee that you will be required to work with a variety of lifting equipment. Many construction site tasks take place at height, so investing in good quality, safety equipment is of the utmost importance. Here is a selection of lifting equipment that you will likely require to carry out a lifting task on site.

Safety Lanyards

When working at height, a safety lanyard connects a harness to a secure anchor point, preventing the wearer from falling to the ground.

There are two types of safety lanyard, and it's important to know the difference between them.

Restraint Lanyard vs. Fall Arrest Lanyard

A restraint lanyard is designed to prevent falls by prohibiting the wearer from reaching a hazardous position where a fall might occur. For example, one may wear a safety harness and a restraint lanyard while working on an aerial work platform - the length of the lanyard will have been specifically chosen to keep the wearer safely on the platform.

A fall arrest lanyard must be used in situations where fall hazards cannot be avoided. Fall arrest lanyards have an energy-absorbing element that, in the event of a fall, reduces the impact force exerted on the wearer's body and the anchoring point.

More Information: Fall Arrest vs. Fall Restraint

What Are Safety Lanyards Made Of?

Restraint lanyards (which, remember, are intended to stop people reaching a position where a fall could occur) are typically made of kernmantle rope. Our kernmantle rope lanyards have a minimum breaking strength of 22kN.

We can also supply lanyards with elasticated webbing to help reduce possible trip/snagging hazards.

Both types of lanyard can be purchased from SafetyLiftinGear's Lanyards department.

Connectors

A safety lanyard may be supplied with a variety of different connectors, including:

  • Screw gate karabiner
  • Automatic locking gate
  • Scaffold hook
  • Thimble eye

Maximum Lifespan

The G-Force lanyards we sell here at SafetyLiftinGear have a maximum lifespan of 10 years from the date of manufacture (assuming that you use and store the product correctly and subject it to regular, thorough examinations). This maximum lifespan should not be exceeded, and the equipment must be removed from service once the 10-year period has elapsed.

When carrying out work near a live source of electricity such as a power line, it is paramount that you use a non-conductive ladder to minimise the risk of accidental electrocution. This is where SafetyLiftinGear’s Glassfibre Ladders come in!

Besides being suitable for work with electrics, fibreglass ladders have many other advantages over standard aluminium ladders. They tend to weigh less making them easy to move, they are resistant to weathering, don’t absorb moisture, and are warmer to the touch. We have chosen two ladders from our fibreglass range to show you the two different styles we have on offer.

The Lyte GFHP Trade Glassfibre Platform Stepladder

  • Non-conductive to 30,000 Volts
  • Slip-resistant treads and feet
  • Designed for trade use and manufactured to take more wear and tear than domestic products.

Lyte GFBB Heavy Duty Glassfibre Swingback Stepladder

  • Unique strengthening beam incorporated into non-slip treads, rubber feet and aluminium side arms prevent slips and twists as there are no topes to snap or flimsy arms to break
  • Lightweight and easy to carry
  • Plastic tool tray to hold tools and equipment while working.

The Ladder Association

SafetyLiftinGear is a proud member of The Ladder Association, designed to ensure work at height is as safe as it can possibly be! The Ladder Association offer expertise to support safe and good practice when using ladders.

Being able to provide our customers with new equipment that enables them to not only perform and complete tasks as quickly and easily as possible but in the safest possible way, is always one of our key goals here at SafetyLiftinGear, something we have once again achieved with the inclusion of SQUIDS Power Tool Brackets. These small but very handy attachments allow your power tools to be easily connected to your tool lanyard, enabling you to carry and transport your tools around without any additional hassle.

                                                         

                       

                                        SQUIDS 3797 Power Tool Bracket Grinder Tool Trap                                                   

         

        SQUIDS 3796 Power Tool Bracket Drill and Impact Driver Tool Trap

 

As most power tools such as grinders, impact drivers and cordless drills do not possess any attachment points whereby you are able to clip them onto a tool lanyard, our range of specially designed brackets are extremely useful in helping workers with the above. Due to these connection points not being readily available, a hazardous environment is created with the risk of accidents being elevated when working at height. The ability to tether your power tools should be part of a wider fall protection plan in order to decrease the risk of dropped objects while working and improving the overall safety of the workplace. Each bracket comes with a number of metric fasteners in order to mount a variety of power tools from leading brands such as DeWalt, Bosch and Makita. You can view a number of these high-quality brackets below.

 

Installation

Installing your new power tool bracket could not be easier! The one-time assembly produces a fast and simple one-step attachment to tether a lanyard to your tools. Simply fasten the included tool bracket and labels onto screw ports intended for accessory belt hooks. Once the required has been applied to the anchor point, you then attach a tool lanyard to the bracket tether point to securely tether your tools. If you do not own a tool lanyard or need a new one, please visit our range of Tool Lanyards here to purchase yours today.

For further information on tethering your power tools using your new tool brackets, watch our instructional video below.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding our range of power tool brackets or tool lanyard, then please do not hesitate to contact us today by calling 0808 123 69 69 or emailing sales@safetyliftingear.com today!
