The construction sector has dangerous and difficult working conditions that require working on high-rise buildings, scaffolding, cranes and similar structures. Safety is one of the most important elements of work processes for construction companies. Ensuring work safety, especially during work at height, is of critical importance for both the safety of workers and the uninterrupted continuation of projects. In this context, safety belts play a vital role in preventing fall accidents that may occur on construction sites. EKS Work Safety offers solutions that are suitable for the safety needs of the sector with the safety belts it develops for construction companies.

The Importance of Safety Belts in the Construction Industry

Construction projects often pose serious safety risks for personnel working on high-rise structures, scaffolding or cranes. Fall accidents account for a large portion of workplace accidents in the construction industry, and these accidents often result in serious injuries. This is where safety belts come into play to protect the lives of workers on construction sites.

Safety belts stop the fall safely by minimizing the forces that may harm the user's body in the event of a fall. Safety belts used in construction projects must be durable and long-lasting in the harsh conditions of the sector. The safety belts offered by EKS İş Güvenlik are designed to meet these needs.

Types of Safety Belts Suitable for the Construction Industry

EKS Work Safety offers various safety belt models suitable for different types of work and risk levels used in the construction sector. These belts are manufactured to high quality standards to maintain maximum work safety. The most preferred safety belt types for construction companies are:

1. Full Body Safety Belts

Full body safety belts, used in the riskiest tasks on construction sites, minimize impact by supporting different parts of the body during a fall. These belts allow construction workers to work safely on high structures. EKS Work Safety's full body belts are ideal for long-term use with their durable materials and ergonomic designs.

2. Positioning Belts

Positioning belts, which are used to ensure that workers working on scaffolding and similar structures remain fixed at a point, are frequently preferred models in construction work. These belts allow the worker to work in a certain area without falling. EKS Work Safety prioritizes both flexibility and safety in positioning belts.

3. Lap Type Safety Belts

Waist type belts are designed to be used in areas with lower risk of falling. These belts are fixed to the waist area and prevent loss of balance by keeping the worker in one spot. They are ideal especially for those working in short-term jobs or in narrow spaces.

Things to Consider When Choosing a Safety Belt in the Construction Industry

Choosing the right seat belts to be used in the construction sector is very important in preventing work accidents and ensuring safety. Some important criteria to consider when choosing a belt are:

1. Altitude and Risk Level of the Work Area

In construction projects, working height and risk level must be taken into account. While full body harnesses are the safest option for work at heights, positioning belts can be used at lower heights.

2. Durability and Material Quality

Equipment used in construction sites must be resistant to harsh weather conditions and physical wear. EKS Work Safety produces abrasion-resistant and long-lasting belts using high-quality polyester and nylon materials. In this way, the belts offer reliable use even in the harsh conditions of construction sites.

3. Comfort and Mobility

Construction workers may have to use seat belts for long hours. Therefore, it is important that the belt is ergonomic and comfortable, providing safety without restricting mobility. EKS Work Safety belts offer ergonomic designs with adjustable straps that fit the body perfectly.

4. Security Certificates

Safety belts used in construction sites must comply with international safety standards. All safety belts offered by EKS İş Güvenlik have international certificates such as CE and ISO and are manufactured in accordance with safety standards.

Proper Use and Maintenance of Seat Belts

Correct use and maintenance of seat belts are vital to ensuring safety on construction sites. There are a number of factors that workers should wear and regularly check to ensure they are wearing the belt correctly:

1. Wearing the Belt Properly

The belt should fit the worker's body perfectly and should not be loose. The straps should be fastened tightly, but should not impede movement. In addition, all attachment points of the belt should be secure and attached to the correct locations.

2. Regular Checks and Maintenance

Seat belts should be checked for wear, tear or damage before each use. If any damage is noticed, the belt should be replaced. Regular maintenance of the belts extends the life of the equipment and ensures safety.
