Some people report to work in an office, sitting at a desk for most of their day. Others report to a jobsite, where they may be hoisted hundreds of feet in the air to perform their duties.
For roofers, window washers, utility linemen, construction workers and others who work at height, having the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) can be critical to staying safe. Studies show that construction workers who use proper fall protection equipment can reduce injury risk by 70–80%.
At , we support manufacturers by testing fall protection equipment in our custom-built fall tower and fall pit designed to recreate and test key elements of fall protection installations found on radio towers, wind turbines and buildings. From full-body harnesses and anchors to hoists and winches, our teams independently test more than 250 fall protection models each year to help ensure they meet the safety and performance requirements of leading standards from ANSI, OSHA, CSA, ASTM and NFPA.
When the job takes you hundreds of feet above the ground, there’s no room for error. That’s why Intertek helps manufacturers put fall protection equipment to the test before it’s put to work.
