Fall protection

Fall protection is indispensable for work at great heights . Even if you have to go into the depths, you naturally want to avoid falling down. With the right fall protection equipment you ensure that your safety is guaranteed. Even when the options for climbing or standing on something are limited. This way, a job that initially seems very dangerous suddenly becomes a lot less risky. It is not without reason that fall protection is mandatory when working at a height of more than 2.50 meters. If you want to get the best fall protection equipment at an affordable price, you don't have to look further than the Unishore Workwear webshop. We ensure that you can always order the strongest lanyards from us.

Fall protection guidelines

The height of 2.50 meters is a guideline drawn up by the European Union. If you fall at a height above that and hit the ground, the risk of serious injury is extremely high. And the higher you work, the more serious the injury in the event of a fall. For this reason it is no longer permitted to use a ladder of more than 2.50 meters. With scaffolding, the risk of a hard fall is less than when working on a ladder, no matter how sturdy. But even if a scaffolding has railings or balustrades, there is still a chance that you will fall. The risk of this can be partly reduced by putting away tools and materials immediately, because research has shown that most falls are caused by items lying around. But if you unexpectedly fall, good fall protection is required.

The main function of fall protection is to reduce the impact of a fall on the human body to below 6Kn. It may also be necessary to use fall protection below a height of 2.50 metres. It is even mandatory if you work in a restricted area above a road or water. These types of locations naturally entail additional risks, such as the risk of drowning, hypothermia or impact from passing traffic. That is why thorough fall protection is essential. This consists of a lanyard, a safety harness and an attachment point that can withstand high pressure. This way you are guaranteed protection against the unpleasant consequences of a fall. This of course includes the impact of the fall itself, but also the blow due to breaking a fall or pinching the safety line. Good fall protection is therefore designed with safety and comfort in mind.

Personal protective equipment

Fall protection falls under the category personal protective equipment, also known by the commonly used abbreviation PPE. These are tools that, together with your protective clothing, ensure that you can carry out your work as safely and pleasantly as possible. Alanyardis a very important example of this, but the range of personal protective equipment is as extensive as the number of safety risks in the workplace. After all, a nasty fall is not the only way you can sustain unpleasant injuries or health problems. If you start thinking about it, you will soon discover that there are quite a few dangers lurking in the average workplace. Sharp tools, heavy objects, hazardous chemicals; they can all cause damage. Fortunately, there is a solution to all these problems.

In addition to fall protection, you will therefore find a very diverse range of products among personal protective equipment. You can think of products that are as simple as they are effective, such as a safety helmet for the protection of your head or safety glasses to protect your eyes from dust, chemicals and gas fumes. Full safety suits also fall under personal protective equipment. But even if you have a workplace where a continuous stream of loud noises pose a threat to your hearing, you need PPE: earplugs, ear muffs or other forms of hearing protection. We can imagine that sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees, but thanks to the clear design of our webshop and our extensive product information, you will find exactly what you need.
