Here at SafetyLiftinGear, we pride ourselves on being able to provide our customers with high-quality, reliable products. That's why when someone wants to use our products to carry out a test we are more than happy to help. Recently, we were asked to carry out a davit arm test. A davit arm is used for recovery of personnel out at sea, so it's important that the crew are aware of exactly how much weight the davit arm on board can take.
The test was carried out on a davit arm that had recently been installed on a commercial rescue boat. We supplied 150kg of hand test weights and sling shackles so that a live load test could be conducted whilst the rip was on its mooring in Lymington Yacht Haven.
(20kg test weight)
The davit arm was successfully tested and we were all happy with the way it turned out!
If you have any questions about what you may need to test your equipment, we are more than happy to help. For any queries on any of the products, we supply feel free to contact our friendly team.

Working at height comes with a number of risks and it is of vital importance that you take all the safety precautions you can. A rescue block can be what saves you from falling and injuring yourself, as they protect you from falling to the ground when working at height. The synthetic rope or cable that is wrapped around the reel of the block works like a retractable lifeline, which suspends you in the air in the event of a fall.
All the rescue blocks we supply are designed to be reliable and effective. The last thing you want to do is doubt the quality of your height safety equipment, so we make sure you don't have to. The rescue blocks have a shock-absorbing system that prevents injury in the event of a fall. The high-quality materials used for each rescue block allow them to be used year after year, as the durable cables can withstand strain time after time without eroding or snapping.
Of course, you must be sure to choose a rescue block that suits your requirements, as each is a different size and has different restrictions. Luckily, our extensive range of blocks means we are confident you will be able to find the product you need.

Generally, the average life of a safety harness is around 5 years. However, how long a safety harness is good for will differ between makes and models of safety harnesses, with others coming with varying levels of warranties and recommended life-spans that can be much longer than average. For instance, our range of G-force harnesses are approved for up to 10 years.
Of course, with something as important as a safety harness it's important that you check its in good condition before use. You must remain diligent when deciding if a safety harness is safe to use. Despite the recommended life-span, only the owner of the safety harness is aware what conditions it has been used in and whether this has affected its quality. If you begin to question how safe your harness is you should invest in one that can withhold the weight required.
With that being said, we provide a huge selection of safety harnesses that are all made with the highest-quality materials. The last thing you want to do is doubt the safety of your safety harness when you're working at height which is why we supply high-quality products.

PPE is short for Personal Protective Equipment. This is the equipment worn by workers that offers extra protection against hazards that may occur in the workplace. PPE comes in plenty of forms, and those who work jobs that require manual labour often need a range of different PPE to stay fully protected on the job.
But with so many to choose from sometimes it can be difficult to work out what you need, so we've put a Guide to PPE together to help! Here's a look at some of the PPE equipment we supply and how it can help you.
Head Protection
Protecting your head is often one of the most important things to remember, particularly on a construction site. In fact, many have a 'hard-hat policy' that means you can not carry out work unless your head is protected. We supply a range of helmets, hard hats and thermal liners that all help keep your head protected from falling/low-hanging objects and safe from the cold.
Eye Protection
Eyes are both amazing and fragile. Too often an eye injury can lead to someone losing their sight when it could have been easily avoided with the right PPE. Debris and chemicals can easily cause problems for eyes, which is why we supply a range of safety goggles and safety glasses that protect you without impairing your vision.
Ear Protection
Working in loud environments such as concerts or construction can take its toll on your ears. Over time, loud music or power tools can damage your hearing. Ear defenders and earplugs can make a huge difference to how much loud volumes affect your ears.
Protective Clothing
PPE clothing can keep you safe from the wet and wind or make sure that you are easily seen, in some cases it does both! High visibility clothing allows others to see you from a greater distance, this is particularly useful in busy working environments where drivers and workers are more distracted.
Breathing Equipment
Some work environments will expose you to airborne debris or fumes that shouldn't be breathed in. Working in these conditions is sometimes unavoidable which is why Dust Masks and Respirators are used. These are vital to protect against hazards that may affect your breathing.
