Fall Arrest & Height Safety Equipment

What makes LiftingSafety different?

Lifting Safety is managed and operated by trained technical engineers who understand all of the product ranges that we sell; we are primarily a technically based and trained company and not simply a catalogue company!

We at Lifting Safety set about inventing and rewriting the technology required to offer this unique online functionality and presentation that maintains the key features of our business, being useful and informative to all of our customers, both here in the UK and internationally. The management at LiftingSafety responds to the market's technology requirements and then continually updates the functions, navigation and appearance that improve and enhance the users' browsing experience.

We have structured the fall arrest catalogue so that there are many available options for quality, price and stock availability. In most cases, customers can purchase the height safety equipment online with payments processed via Worldpay, which is a safe and secure payment gateway.

For customers who need a formal quotation, products can be added to a quote request basket and then the entire basket sent to our technical sales team. Your specific quotation will then be sent back to you shortly afterwards via email.

Fall arrest equipment is technical by nature; therefore, the choice of products available is so vast that we encourage customers who need assistance to contact our sales and technical team. Our team has great knowledge and experience and is dedicated to assisting our customers as much as possible; we are always keen to help.

Online Catalogue Working at Height Terms and Disciplines

• Fall protection - Any system, equipment, item or piece of PPE that guards against a fall, arrests a fall, performs a rescue and/or man-riding function.
• Installed systems - Complete permanently installed fall arrest or restraint solutions and systems.
• Fall arrest  PPE - PPE is Personal Protective Equipment, for example, Safety Harness, fall arrest harnesses, lanyards and step relief
• Collective restraint - Systems to prevent a group of people from reaching a potential fall zone. For example, guard rails (handrails).
• Fall Prevention - A term associated with collective and/or personal restraint systems 
• Fall arrest equipment - Fall arrest equipment is mandatory when deploying personnel working at height. There is no minimum height at which fall arrest protection must be used. Working at height is a risk assessed based on function.
• Shock-absorbing systems - Energy-absorbing systems must be incorporated into fall arrest equipment. The system used must be shock absorbing or keep the forces transferred to the casualty during a fall at a value below 6Kn. 
• Rescue from height - A rescue plan must be incorporated into the method statement and risk assessment before employees work at height in a fall arrest scenario. The system chosen should be immediately available and should not include calling the emergency services.
• Work positioning - Work positioning equipment allows the user to work comfortably at height for long periods of time. Pole straps and work positioning belts are not fall arrest equipment, though they must be used in conjunction with fall arrest gear/tackle.
• Rope access - Rope access equipment allows safe working at height whilst in a suspended state. All rope access equipment is subject to LOLER 6-monthly inspections because the equipment is used in a 'load-bearing' application. Fall arrest is never load-bearing unless a fall occurs.
• Confined space work - specialist height access, egress and fall arrest equipment for persons working in confined and closed spaces.
• Personal restraint gear - Restraint means preventing the operative/worker from reaching the potential fall area. There is no possibility of a fall, and therefore, fall arrest equipment is not necessary. I.E., No potential for falling means no requirement for fall arrest equipment. 
• Height safety training - we offer a full range of height safety training course packages, including training for safe use and maintenance of all the fall arrest/height safety gear that we sell/advertise. All training on equipment is with the approval of the manufacturer and complies with the Working at Height Directive.
