Working at height is a common and necessary activity in many industries, such as construction, maintenance, roofing, and painting. However, it also involves significant risks of falling and injuring yourself or others. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), falls are the leading cause of death in construction and one of the most common causes of serious work-related injuries across all industries.

To prevent falls and protect workers from harm, employers and workers need to use a fall protection system that is appropriate for the work environment and the tasks being performed. A fall protection system consists of three main components: an anchorage point, a body harness, and a connector. These components work together to stop a fall or minimize the impact of a fall.

However, not all fall protection systems are created equal. Some are more reliable, durable, and comfortable than others. That’s why you should choose Eksed as your trusted partner for working safely at height.

Attach:

Test:

You should test your fall protection system by applying a slight downward force on it to ensure that it is working properly and can support your weight.

Use:
