Everyday we read stories about how people are injured while they were working at height, or we see a story about people who show complete disregard to health and safety regulations which results in putting themselves and others in an incredible amount of danger.

It is important that when you are required to work at height, you do so responsibly, not just for your own safety, but for others too. By following these 3 safety measures you and other around you will remain safe:


Fall Arrest Blocks 

When you are working at height, it is essential that you are protecting yourself and minimising the risks of slips and falls from height. Fall Arrest blocks are a retractable lifeline, generally made from wire rope, which is stored within a case containing an inertia reel.

In the unfortunate event of a fall, the wire rope is pulled out of the block until it reaches critical velocity, which is when the breaking system locks, preventing you from falling any further. Our Fall arrest blocks all have a shock-absorbing system built in preventing you from getting hurt.

Here at SafetyLiftinGear, we sell a variety of Fall Arrest blocks, so when you are purchasing, please ensure you have selected the correct Block for the required task.

Safety Harnesses

When you are working at height, a safety harness most be worn at all times. We know that they are not the most fashionable of accessories, but they are lifesaving.  

If you are working at height, make sure that you are using a harness attached to one of the fall arrest blocks we mentioned above. This will protect you from injury in the off chance you fall whilst working at height.

Here at SafetyLiftinGear we sell a huge variety of safety harnesses, from the basic fall arrest harnesses, through to the more specialist, multipurpose harnesses, insulated harnesses and flame resistant harnesses.

Dropping your tools from a height can have some dire consequences. Firstly, You could end up damaging any equipment or machines that are directly below where you are working, which could end up with some costly repairs for your company. Secondly, you could end up damaging your tool, rendering it useless so you will have to pay to get it replaced. Thirdly, and most importantly, you could end up fatally injuring a member of the public or a workmate.

To prevent creating a hazard it is essential that you use a Tool Lanyard. We supply a huge range of top quality tool lanyards.

In any hazardous working environment, particularly those based outdoors, it's important to ensure the visibility of workers by providing them with the proper workwear. High visibility clothing is an essential item in many manual professions, and is also becoming increasingly popular in schools in order to prevent road traffic accidents involving children. 

The amount of high visibility clothing required will depend on the lighting and weather conditions of the workplace, as well as the risks posed to the the individual. For example, those at risk from moving vehicles should wear full body hi-vis clothing to ensure that they are fully visible to drivers, as should those working at night. The item itself should also be suitable for the working conditions, and should not interfere with other safety precautions. An example of this would be warehouse workers, who should ensure that any loose fitting items are unable to get caught in machinery.

Over at SafetyLifeGear we provide a range of personalised PPE and workwear, all of which conforms to EU safety regulations, so that you can be assured that you are getting a high-quality, genuine piece of safety gear. Here are some of the essential items we stock:

Hi-Vis Vests
Over at SafetyLifeGear, we stock a comprehensive selection of hi-vis vests, in a vast array of sizes, styles and colours. Suitable for a wide age group and a range of operations, these vests can easily be worn over an individual's usual clothing to provide high visibility when required for a particular task. These vests can also be personalised to include company branding, so that the item is in-keeping with your brand and the rest of your company uniform.
Hi-Vis Jackets
Due to the fact that hi-visibility items are primarily required in outdoor work, it is vital that employers in these sectors are able to cater to changes in weather conditions in order to further guarantee the safety and well-being of their workers. For this reason, SafetyLifeGear provide a selection of Vi-Vis jackets for a number of purposes, providing suitable protection and ease of movement for each particular task.

Hi Vis Trousers 
As noted above, certain types of work may require full coverage high visibility clothing, in order to ensure that workers in these professions are provided with the highest level of visibility possible. For this reason, SafetyLifeGear also supply a variety of hi-vis trousers and coveralls, each of which can also be branded in the same way as the rest of the high-vis range.

In 2008, Richard Noble and Andy Green announced their plans to smash the World Land Speed Record, while, at the same time inspiring the next generation to become enthusiastic about mathematics, engineering and science.

Undoubtedly, the BLOODHOUND SSC is one of the most complex cars created. It states on their websites, that when the car is completed it will comprise of over 3,500 parts, many of which have been designed specifically for the BLOODHOUND SSC, including unique engines designed by Jaguar and Bristol’s own Rolls-Royce. 

Inside the BLOODHOUND SSC you will find a EUROJET EJ200 jet engine which will supply the car with only half of its thrust! A Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) in the form of a Jaguar Supercharged V8 Engine.  This will be used to supply 800 litres of high test peroxide to the rocket in just 20 seconds! And finally, the rocket engine, to accelerate the car to 1000 mph the rocket engine combined with the jet engine will provide a thrust of 212kN.   



If you would like to go and see the car for yourself, The BLOODHOUND project are currently accepting bookings for their Rocket car experience workshops held during the Easter holidays, making a fun and education day for your children. Click here to read more. 

It is a truly amazing project, one which we at SafetyLiftinGear are proud to help by providing lifting and material handling equipment.
