Height Safety

Working at heights introduces a set of risks that demand serious attention and the right safety equipment. Whether it's construction work, warehouse tasks, or any job that lifts you off the ground, having the proper height safety gear is non-negotiable. Signet has a range of height safety equipment including harnesses, ladders, and more, designed to keep you secure and supported.

Picking the Right Height Safety Gear

When you're up high, the right equipment can mean the difference between a normal day at work and a dangerous fall. Here's what you need to know about the essentials:

• Harnesses: The ultimate safety net when it comes to preventing falls. A good harness fits well, is comfortable for long hours, and has multiple attachment points for versatility.
• Ladders: Not all ladders are created equal. Look for sturdy, stable ladders that suit the height you need and are designed for easy, safe climbing.
• Height Safety Accessories: Items like safety lines, anchor points, and fall arrest systems add extra layers of protection. These are especially important in dynamic environments where you're moving around a lot at height.

How do I choose the right harness?

Look for one that fits well, supports your weight, and suits the type of work you're doing. Comfort is crucial because you might be wearing it for hours.

How often should I inspect my height safety equipment?

Before each use. Look for wear and tear, especially in critical areas like straps on harnesses or the steps and joints of ladders. After all, any damage could potentially compromise safety.

Can I use any ladder for any job?

No, ladders have ratings for weight and use (like light, medium, or heavy-duty). Choose one that exceeds the demands of your task to ensure safety.

What's the most common mistake with height safety?

Complacency. Always double-check your equipment, even if you've just used it. And never cut corners with safety practices, no matter how small the job seems.

How do I store my height safety gear?

Keep it in a dry, clean place away from direct sunlight and chemicals. Proper storage extends the life of your equipment and keeps it ready for safe use.
