If you follow us on Twitter, you may have noticed some very exciting goings-on over the past few weeks, as Shaun Gash set off on his inspiring ascent to the top of Kilimanjaro! 

You may remember our work with Shaun from this post back in April 2015, which was shared just after he completed a gruelling 10 kilometre, military-style obstacle course - just one of many challenges Shaun has undertaken to push his physical boundaries, while also raising money for charity. The challenges Shaun has undertaken are highly demanding, and are made all the more impressive by the fact that he has managed to achieve all of this as a T5/6 paraplegic, after suffering a car accident 24 years ago.

Before taking on the Born Survivor course, Shaun came to us with a request for a bespoke safety harness, which was used by him and his teamates to help him complete the course. We are happy to say that Shaun was obviously pleased with the equipment we provided, as we are also providing the kit for his latest endeavour!

Shaun set off on the Rongai route of Kilimanjaro on the 5th of August, and we are eagerly awaiting updates on his progress over on the Kiliwheels Twitter page!

To find out more about the challenge, and the fantastic charities being funded by this amazing feat, head over to the Kiliwheels site.

Rope access is the practice of using ropes to access hard-to-reach areas instead of, for example, erecting a scaffold. This method can be a fast, cost-effective solution for all sorts of different tasks, but it's important for rope access workers to use high-quality gear and the right safety equipment at all times to minimise the risk of something going wrong.

We sell a superb selection of rope access equipment here at SafetyLiftinGear, so if you and/or your employees use the rope access method to carry out work at height, we can help you to get the job done safely and efficiently. Here's a selection of the products we offer:
Our rope access equipment is used by professionals in a wide variety of different industries, as well as for leisure pursuits such as rock climbing and caving. Click here to browse our full range, or contact us if you need to discuss a bespoke height safety solution for your project.

As we've noticed so many terrible examples of poor, or even non-existent height safety during the past few weeks, we decided it was about time that we created a post to highlight our concerns, and show just how common these idiotic actions can be! Just try to look at these photographs without feeling a little bit ill...



Lesson #1: The material lift equivalent of giving your mate a boost is never a good idea...


In fact, getting your work mates to hold you up is probably one of the worst ideas when it comes to height safety, which is why lesson #2 is to avoid a dizzying situation like the one pictured above!


Lesson #3: Your workplace probably isn't the best place to practise your tightrope skills. Stick on a harness, and learn how use a scissor lift properly!


Lesson #4: If you really want to be air lifted, just keep working like this! The emergency services will soon have you sorted...


Lesson #5: For goodness' sake, use the right ladder! It will save you the hassle of improvising this contraption, as well as a few dozen broken bones...

We hope that our latest disaster round-up inspired you to avoid any improvised shortcuts and crazy solutions in the workplace! If you'll excuse the pun, working at height is dangerous on all levels, which is why you should always have the proper safety measures in place, and ensure that you're making full use of the correct height safety equipment

Here at SafetyLiftinGear.com we have expansive range of Event Rigging Equipment for live performances and staged events. We have a great record when it comes to event rigging. We have supplied equipment to a number of big names, including the BBC and Pinewood Studios, and we've even been used by touring rock bands including the legendary Foo Fighters. 
Our rigging department includes hoists, harnesses, clamps and many more, and the majority of our range is black in colour, so they're less visible on stage. All of our equipment is fully certified and tested, so you can rest assured that they will keep the live event running safe and efficient. 

Here are some of the products in our Event Rigging Range
These Beam Clamps have been designed for live events and are capable of supporting extremely heavy loads but the maximum weight capacity varies between products so please ensure the beam clamp you've selected is fir for purpose before purchasing. All of our beam clamp range is painted black to ensure that they don't attract the attention of the audience at the live event. 




Our Chain Hoists can be used to lift weights of up to 1 tonne but maximum weight capacity differs between products, so please check before purchasing. Our chain hosts are lightweight and compact and coloured black to blend into the background. 
It's important when lifting a heavy load that you ensure the load will not be allowed to fall to the ground. Our Load Arrestors halt the descent of overhead loads if the primary support system fails. All of our Arrestors come in a range of maximum lengths and weight load limits, so it's important you check you've chosen the right one that meets your requirements. 


If you're providing a stage rigging service, you may find yourself working at height. To prevent any injuries resulting in accidents or falls you must ensure that the correct safety equipment is worn. We stock a fantastic range of harnesses, and we're confident that no matter what you're requirements are, we are confident you will find the harness to ensure you conduct your work safely.
