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.

SLG Just Supplied Shaun Gash With A New Harness.

mike General News

Back in April we wrote about how we created a bespoke safety harness for Shaun Gash, a paralysed 44 year old from Lancaster who completed the Born Survivor Challenge - a 10 kilometre military style assault course at the beginning of the year, using only his arms, an off road wheelchair and help from his team mates.

Recently we provided Shaun with a new G-FORCE P80 harness to help him take part in his latest challenge – the ram run. Click here to see them all in action.

Shaun and his team are currently preparing themselves for the UK Championships in November and the World Championships which are taking place next year.

All of these Obstacle Courses are training for his biggest challenge next year, Shaun and his team are also going to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in August next year. You can sponsor Shaun and his team on their Kilimanjaro Challenge by clicking here.

We would like to congratulate Shaun on all of his achievements from 2015.

Height Safety Checklist

mike Health & Safety

As we've discussed previously, working at heights can be very dangerous, and failure to observe the proper safety regulations can lead to dire consequences. Height safety guidelines are in place to keep you from falling and, if you do fall, to prevent you from being badly hurt; you may feel that you are careful or sure-footed enough not to need a safety harness, but one slip is all it takes and it's never worth taking that risk.

With all of this in mind, we at SafetyLiftinGear would like to draw your attention to the following Height Safety Checklist. These safety precautions are recommended by the HSE (Health and Safety Executive), so you can rest assured that they were thought up with worker safety in mind.

Before working at height, ask yourself the following questions:

Have I been properly trained to carry out this job? Do I have the correct permit to work?
Will the current weather conditions have any impact on my safety while working at height?
Have I chosen the best means of reaching the heights necessary to complete this job? Could I use a cherry picker instead of a ladder?
Is this ladder safe? Is it in good condition? Is it tied, footed, or otherwise secured at the base? Is it long enough* for the job?
Will I have to walk on a roof or another raised surface? If so, is this surface at all fragile? Is there any risk of falling through?
Will I be able to avoid stepping on roof lights? Are all roof lights clearly visible?
Do I need crawling boards to safely bridge joists?
If I fall, what will prevent me from hitting the ground? Am I wearing a safety harness, and is it properly secured?
Is there any chance that I will drop something to the ground below? Could this cause any damage? Should I be wearing a tool lanyard?
If a fall or accident should occur, do I have a suitable rescue plan in place?

*To ensure worker safety, ladders should reach at least 0.9m (35 and a half inches) beyond the stepping-off point.
