that is on the ground below, cause an accident, or cause a fatal injury. Tool lanyard

If you have been asked to transport good, especially heavy
goods, you must use the correct load restraints before starting your journey.
Using load restraint equipment such as cam buckles and ratchet straps prevents
your load from coming loose in transit. Failure to secure your load in the
correct manner could result in damaged goods, as well as injuries and possibly
fatalities if your unsecured load causes an accident.
If you are transporting your load across continents or
simply just moving a loaded pallet by fork lift in a warehouse, regardless of
the distance you intend on travelling, ratchet lashings must be used.
It is important to note that, just with any other equipment
that is used to transport loads, ratchet straps have their own Working Load Limit (WLL) and their own Minimum Breaking Strength. The break strength is the amounts of weight a
ratchet lashing can withstand without breaking. The breaking strength of each component
of a ratchet lashing is independently test. But like everything, the ratchet
lashing is only as strong as its weakest point, so the part of the ratchet
lashing that is the weakest is considered to be the break strength of the
entire lashing.
From the Minimum breaking point, the working load limit can
be calculated by taking 1/3 off the break strength. So this means that the
ratchet lashing with break strength of 300kg has a Working Load Limit of
1000kg.
Remember to check the working load limit of your ratchet
lashing before use, to make sure they are able to withstand your load.
How to use ratchet lashings
When you receive your ratchet straps they will require some basic assembly. This can get quite confusing, so we have provided a simple 5 step guide to make sure you have assembled them correctly.
- Open the ratchet handle, and feed the webbing though the ratchet handle – from the bottom
- Feed the webbing over the top of your ratchet handle
- Fasten the hooks to the tie down points.
- Pull the webbing taught, removing any slack, to the tension you require.
- Pump ratchet until your load is secure
Remember to tie off any access webbing, and to check that your load is completely restrained and secure before commencing your journey
- Before you using any ratchet strap or cam buckle make sure they have been inspected. If there are any signs of damage, do not use.
- Keep your straps out of direct sunlight when in storage. Sunlight can cause polyester straps to become brittle and can lead to the straps losing their strength and breaking whilst in use.
- Store ratchet lashings in a dry place. If your lashings get wet, make sure you dry them off completely before storage to prevent mildew and mould.

If you find yourself working at height regularly, either on
a scaffolding our on roofs, even in manholes, a fall arrest block is an
essential piece of equipment designed to help minimise the risk of injury, or
worse. If you are working at height without using a fall arrest block, you are
putting your own safety, and the safety of others at risk.
Fall arrest blocks comprises of a retractable life line
either made from synthetic rope or steel cable. The rope or cable retracts up onto
a reel, that is stored within a protected housing, often made out of anti-corrosive
metal, but in some cases, like our super lightweight fall arrest blocks or mini
blocks, they can be made from plastic.
Each of our fall arrest blocks have a different working
length, from 2.2 meters to 2 meters. The working load length is the measurement
from the bearing point in the housing, to the bearing point of the hook the
rope or cable is fully extended. In the event of a fall, the lifeline is pulled
out the housing until it reaches a critical velocity at which point the
breaking mechanism activates and the block decelerates to over a short
distance, protecting you from falling to the ground.
Here at SafetyLiftinGear we supply a large range of Fall
Arrest blocks, including mini fall arrest blocks, today we are going to run
through some of the features of our best-selling fall arrest blocks.

people who often find them selves working up high on scaffolding. The CR200 is
extremely durable, its solid metal housing is not only anti-corrosive, but is
lightweight and withstand the day to day environment of a busy work site with
ease.
The lifeline is made out of galvanised steel, making it rust
resistant, and resistant to the wear you
will often find with synthetic rope lifelines.
This fall arrest block is available in 3 different lengths
(6, 12 and 15 meters).
