Working areas in different sectors such as high working equipment, construction, building maintenance and repair workers, cleaning the windows of tall buildings are always high. With this reason they have to protect themselves and take all precautions. So, what tools will they protect themselves with? First, the seat belt should be used, the seat belt should be attached to a life rope and shock-absorbing device. In addition, materials such as hooks, carbines and rope holders should also be used. Not to mention the drop holders, the rescue tripods and the boards.
The seatbelt acts as a limited protection by wrapping the employee. Parachute-type seat belts are more preferred for high-rise workers. Because it can wrap the whole body and make you feel more comfortable during work. It is also safer and more robust in terms of security.
Rope of life, also called lanyard. The lanyards split into two. Single-arm lanyard and double-arm lanyard. The single-arm lanyard opens up a one-way moving area, while the double-arm lanyards allow for wider movement. Thus I will be made to work safely as well as comfortably. In other words, lanyards, double-arm lanyards are preferred front is seen.
The shock-absorbing device exists to stop the sudden shock wave that occurs as workers running high fall in the opposite direction in the event of a possible fall. The shock absorber device, which opens slowly and opens only to a certain length, slows down the sudden shock by swallowing it.
There should also be small carabiners, hooks and rope holders that should be used. Because the ports come with the help of these little tools. The hook connects the lanyard and the seat belt. The D ring is on the seat belt and the hooks and carabiners are attached to this ring. Thus it prevents and protects from touching the ground in possible fall situations.
Boards are actually very important, even if they are not considered necessary by many employers. Using signs such as the need to wear a seatbelt for safety at work, the need to fasten the seatbelt with the life rope, caution and danger of falling will encourage workers to take precautions.
