The main advantage of an adjustable beam clamp is the fact that in can be securely fastened to steel girders and beams without any drilling or welding.

How, you ask? Well, it's quite simple. If you purchase a beam clamp from SafetyLiftinGear, it will have an adjusting bar threaded through the centre. This bar can be turned to adjust the width of your clamp; all you have to do is make the clamp wide enough to fit your beam/girder, then tighten the adjusting bar to ensure that clamp is securely attached.

Once the clamp has been applied, you'll be able to use it for a variety of different lifting tasks. Attaching your clamp to a lifting device will allow you to position the beam or girder to which you've clamped it; alternatively, you could attach your clamp to a pre-existing structure, hang a hoist from the clamp, and then use this system to lift other loads.

The clamps that we sell have maximum weight capacities ranging from 1 to 10 tonnes; click here to see the full range and purchase your beam clamp online.

Working at height can be very dangerous - we recently compiled a seven-point height safety checklist to outline some best practices, and then we added another three points just to make sure. In today's blog, we'd like to show you a few examples of how not to work safely at heights; let's see what lessons we can learn from these photographs...

Lesson #1 - Always wear a safety harness!

Lesson #2 - No haphazard pile of paint tins (or whatever else you have lying around) will ever be as safe as a properly-footed ladder.

Lesson #3 - No, seriously, you should be wearing a safety harness. What's to stop you from slipping and falling?

Lesson #4 - A ladder mounted on the scoop of a digger is no substitute for a cherry picker (depressingly, there are loads of other photos like this on the internet!)

Lesson #5 - PPE will only help you up to a point (we found this image on the HSE website, and as they pointed out, the hard hats and hi-vis jackets won't do much to protect those two men if they fall!)

Now that you've seen the mistakes that some people make, visit our Height Safety department and make sure you don't make them too!

There are numerous different ways to lift a heavy load, but chain slings tend to be the weapon of choice in high-temperature environments and other challenging conditions.

There are lots of different products in SafetyLiftinGear's Chains & Rigging section - here's a quick guide to each of them:

• Chain Slings: These sturdy chains come with heavy-duty hooks for each attachment. Weight capacities for 1 leg slings range from 1.5 to 8 tonnes; however, we also sell...
