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!
