Working at heights is common in many sectors such as construction, energy, telecommunications and industrial cleaning, and these working conditions carry high risks. The risk of falling is one of the biggest threats, especially for those working at heights.

EKS Work Safety's safety belts are manufactured in accordance with high safety standards and have become a guarantee of safety in the sector. In this article, we will examine the types of safety belts, selection criteria and the solutions offered by EKS Work Safety.

Types of Seat Belts

Safety belts vary according to different work environments and risk levels. EKS Work Safety maximizes the safety of employees by offering various models suitable for each sector. Here are the main types of safety belts:

Full body safety belts are the safest type of belt used in places where the risk of falling is high. These belts grip the body from the waist, chest, shoulders and legs, ensuring equal pressure is applied to the entire body in the event of a fall. EKS İş Güvenlik's full body safety belts are made of high-strength materials and safely stop the body in the event of a fall.

Things to Consider When Choosing a Seat Belt

The choice of seat belt should be made by taking into account the working environment and the nature of the work performed. Choosing the wrong seat belt can increase the risk of falling and lead to work accidents. Here are the main criteria to consider when choosing a seat belt:

Working height is one of the most important factors in choosing a safety belt. The safety belt to be used while working at heights should be designed to protect the body and minimize the impact in the event of a possible fall. Full body safety belts should be preferred for workers working at higher altitudes.

It is necessary to use shock absorbing seat belts to reduce the force generated during a fall. Some EKS Work Safety belt models are equipped with integrated shock absorbing systems. These systems absorb the energy released during a fall, making the fall safer.
