Fall Hazard Spotlight:
Transportation Industry Workers
Below to the left is a
glimpse of a common fall hazard I saw recently south of Grand Rapids.
Particularly in the winter months when footing can be treacherous, a worker on a
smooth steel tanker is at risk. An elevation of 11' is critical, because
industrial falls of 11' result in death 50% of the time.

Solution 1:
Traditional horizontal
lifeline system, in this case with Tee support stanchions to provide
protection for two adjacent rail lines. |
|
Solution 2:
Portable Tanker
Access Ladder. Easily positioned by one worker. Accommodates a variety of
elevations. No harness required. |
|
Solution 3:
Portable Ladder System
provides elevated access & personal fall protection for up to two workers. |
|
"A" is for Anchor Point
 |
Need an anchor point?
Simply drill a 3/4" hole 3" deep and stick this grip in and you have a
5,000-pound anchor point. Remove when done for re-use somewhere else. Its big brother requires a 1"
hole, but will hold 10,000 pounds. |

One of the
best-designed sliding beam clamps I've seen. Lightweight yet robust, the
clamp is easy to install due to auto-aligning pin holes. The Ultra-high
molecular weight wear strips are "self-lubricating", giving an effortless
glide to the clamp moving down a beam flange. |

"B" is for Body
|
The Ironman is our
best selling harness. Universal sizing (fits Med - XL) cuts cost of
maintaining stock in multiple sizes. End-users like its easy-to-don design
and all-day-long comfort. Ripout stress indicators and embedded orange
Tattletale webbing make inspection quick and easy.
Those with budget
review responsibility like its $99.50 price point. |
|
 |
The "A Series" harness
is an economical version of the Ironman, without belt and backpad. Available
with and without hip dees.
A Series with dorsal
and hip dees $59.95 ea.
A Series with
dorsal dee only $54.25 ea. |

"C" is for Connector

Introducing the
BlackMax Lanyard, designed for workers who tie-off below the level of their
back dee rings.
The BlackMax's shock
absorption automatically increases depending on the worker's free-fall
distance. In a standard fall of 6' or less, with the anchorage point at or
above the worker's dorsal dee ring, the worker feels a maximum arresting
force of 900 lbs. However, should the worker tie off at his feet and suffer
a 10' - 12' fall, the BlackMax's shock absorption increases to an maximum
arresting force of 1800 lbs.
The BlackMax is
available in a single-leg or twin-leg configuration, and comes standard with
tie-back Steelhead snap hooks and reinforced web strapping. It's a bit more
expensive than standard 900-lb or 1800-lb lanyards, but eliminates the need
for two types of lanyards and the possibility of a worker using the wrong
lanyard. |
 |
Standard 6'
shock-absorbing web lanyard available with ultra-strong Pelican Hook
(shown) configuration or tie-back Steelhead double-locking snap
hooks. Slim shock-absorbing pack for extra comfort.
Ask about other
configurations with lightweight aluminum rebar hooks and 4 - 6' elastic web
for tighter profile. |
|
 |
Reliance twin leg
shock-absorbing lanyards are safer due to a key difference -- each leg has a
dedicated shock absorber. This is important if you have the second unused
leg attached to one of your hip dee rings. In the event of a fall, twin-leg
lanyards with a single shock absorber pay out up to 42", jerking the
worker's pelvis to the side because the second leg runs out of slack. Ouch! |

~50' aloft hanging off the end of a 20' pole in a bos'n's chair (note backup
fall arrest) inspecting horizontal lifelines.
