Product Spotlight: Safety Harness Jacket

adam products

With autumn now upon us and winter on its way, SafetyLiftinGear's Height Safety range has gained a brand new pair of products that we think will make a lot of people very happy.

Working outdoors at this time of year can be a very unpleasant experience, and that goes double for people who have to work at height in strong winds and harsh weather. Our new safety harness jackets are specifically designed for people in this position; not only do they prevent falls via a built-in safety harness, they're also designed to keep you warm and dry when you're working in inclement weather.

Here's a quick rundown of what our fantastic fall protection jackets have to offer:

Safety Harness Jacket - Details:

Easy to put on and use
Harness can be removed for inspection, or if you wish to use the jacket on its own
Jacket is wind- and water-resistant
Three sizes available (Medium, Large and XLarge)
Harness attaches via front and rear D-ring attachment points
Ideal for all types of working at height, including event rigging

Our safety harness jackets come in two different colours: Black and High-Visibility Yellow. The black version is specifically designed for use in the entertainment industry, whereas the yellow jacket harness is better suited to industrial environments where workers need to be clearly visible.

SafetyLiftinGear's safety harness jackets are available both to buy and to hire. Whatever your requirements, click here to take a closer look at these products, or contact us to speak with a member of our customer service team.

How to Use a Beam Clamp Safely

The safe use of beam clamps is essential to prevent accidents and damage to your beam clamps and accessories when in

use. When you are using a beam clamp the following should be taken into account:

The safe use of beam clamps is essential to prevent accidents and damage to your beam clamps and accessories when in

use. When you are using a beam clamp the following should be taken into account:

Ensure that you conduct a thorough check of your beam clamp before use. Do not use faulty beam clamps, faulty beams, or faulty hoists.

Make sure you attach any suspending attachment to your beam clamp from a safety hook. This will prevent accidental detachment. All of our hoists and chain blocks here at SafetyLiftinGear have a safety hook as standard.

Ensure that the structure that you are suspending the beam clamp from, is assembled correctly, and has an adequate weight load for either an extra beam or a hoisted load. If in any doubt, do not try and set up the beam clamps, consult your supervisor or manager to confirm if it is suitable.

Ensure that you have the right clamp for the job. All beam clamps have a different Working Load Limit (WLL) so if you are lifting a load that is 3.1 Tonnes you will need to purchase a 5 Tonne beam clamp. Localised Overloading is extremely dangerous, this could cause the beam clamp to break and cause accidents.

Make sure the beam clamp that you are using is compatible with the hoist that you are using. By this we mean, making sure that the safety hook fits correctly into the eye of the beam clamp. Do not force safety hooks into the eye of your beam clamp as this could damage your beam clamp and accessories.

Ensure that the beam is positioned over the centre of gravity of the hoisted load. And ensure that the load is not swinging or at an angle to the beam clamp. As this can cause serious injury and impose health and safety risks.

If you ever need to use two clamps in tandem the use of a spreader beam may be necessary, you must ensure that the beam clamps are not suspending more than their WLL.

When dismantling the structure be sure to check over your beam clamps for any damage and make sure you are handling and storing them correctly. Make sure you don’t throw or drop your beam clamps as this could damage them and render them unusable.

Never replace the bolts on a beam clamp without consulting the supplier, this could lead to the wrong screw being fitted that could potentially cause an accident or damage your beam clamp.

If you would like more information on our range of Beam Clamp please contact us and a specialist will quickly get back to.
