Construction
In the building and civil engineering sector, work at height is a common occurrence, whether it's constructing buildings, installing frameworks or maintaining existing structures.
Building professionals - roofers, carpenters, scaffolders and bricklayers - often work on sites where there is a high risk of falling. Whether on roofs, scaffolding or on the edge of a roof, these work situations require the use of specific personal protective equipment (PPE) against falls from height.
The use of devices such as fall arrest harnesses, lanyards and fall arrest systems is essential to guarantee workers' safety. Not only is this PPE compulsory, it can also save lives in the event of loss of balance or slipping. On construction sites, where there can be major risks every day, prevention requires proper training of teams, choice of appropriate equipment and strict compliance with safety procedures.
Industry
In the industrial sector, many operations require work to be carried out at height, whether to service machinery, inspect installations or carry out maintenance work in areas that are difficult to access. Maintenance technicians, industrial electricians and production line operators are often confronted with risky situations when working on catwalks, elevated platforms or metal structures.
These complex industrial environments present many hazards, including falls from height, which are among the most frequent and serious accidents. To ensure the safety of workers, the use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) is essential. Fall arrest harnesses, lifeline systems, anchorage points: these devices considerably reduce the risks when working at height.
Whether it's accessing high areas in factories, warehouses or production sites, PPE plays a crucial role in accident prevention. In an industrial environment, where safety is a priority, training teams in the use of fall arresters and compliance with safety standards are essential. All workers must be aware of the risks and be properly equipped to carry out their tasks in complete safety.
Protecting against falls from height in industry means guaranteeing a working environment where the risks are kept under control, and where teams can work with peace of mind, in complete confidence.
Tree
Climbing
Tree climing is one of the most dangerous jobs in terms of the risk of falling from a height. Tree pruners, arborists and specialist landscapers often work several metres above the ground, perched in trees to prune, maintain or fell branches. These situations call for heightened vigilance and specific personal protective equipment (PPE) to ensure the safety of these professionals.
Pruning involves not only mastering climbing techniques, but also using appropriate fall arrest systems. Harnesses specially designed for pruning, ropes, adjustable lanyards, karabiners and anchor points are all essential equipment for working safely in the canopy. Each job requires meticulous preparation, and the choice of PPE must be adapted to the specific conditions of the site: working height, stability of branches, and weather conditions.
In addition to safety devices, training in the use of PPE and risk management is essential for pruners. Working at height in often uncomfortable positions and in complex natural environments requires perfect mastery of anchoring techniques and safe movement. It is thanks to this combination of appropriate equipment and technical know-how that professional tree pruners are able to work effectively while minimising the risk of accidents.
In this profession, where falls can have dramatic consequences, the systematic use of PPE is a guarantee of protection for every operation at height.
Works on
Ropes
Rope access technicians are experts in working at heights, in situations where access by traditional means is impossible or too complex. Whether carrying out maintenance work on building facades, inspecting bridges, working in industrial environments or installing equipment in hard-to-reach areas, these professionals work every day suspended several metres above the ground.
In this profession, where work is often carried out in extreme conditions, the use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) is essential. Harnesses specially designed for suspended work, static and dynamic ropes, descenders, arresters and fall arresters: all these devices enable rope access technicians to work in complete safety, while remaining mobile and responsive.
Rope access work requires a high level of technical expertise and in-depth knowledge of safety protocols. Each job is unique, requiring a rigorous risk assessment and precise configuration of PPE to suit the specific site. Ongoing training for our rope access technicians is also crucial to ensure that they are fully conversant with rescue manoeuvres in the event of a problem.
In an environment where there is no margin for error, safety depends on a combination of reliable equipment, rigorous procedures and perfect coordination between team members. For rope access technicians, PPE is not just a regulatory requirement, but a vital insurance policy for carrying out their missions at height with confidence and efficiency.
Confined
Spaces
Working in confined spaces presents unique safety challenges. These environments, such as tanks, silos, pipes, reservoirs or pits, are often characterised by restricted access, limited ventilation and reduced visibility. Workers, whether maintenance technicians, industrial operators or cleaning specialists, work in conditions where the risks are multiplied: asphyxiation, toxic atmospheres, but also falls from height.
In these confined spaces, the use of specific personal protective equipment (PPE) is crucial to preventing accidents. Fall arrest systems play an essential role, particularly during the access and exit phases, when the risk of slipping or falling is high. Safety harnesses, tripods with rescue winches, vertical or horizontal lifelines: these devices not only make movement safer, but also ensure rapid evacuation in the event of an emergency.
It is essential to train your operatives in the use of this PPE, combined with rigorous site preparation. Before any work is carried out in a confined space, a risk assessment must be carried out, including an analysis of the configuration of the site and the implementation of appropriate emergency plans. In this type of work, every detail counts to guarantee the safety of the teams.
Work in confined spaces requires constant vigilance and the adoption of appropriate protective measures. By using high-performance PPE and following strict procedures, our operatives can carry out their tasks in complete safety, even in the most complex environments.
Works on
pylones
Working on electricity pylons is one of the most demanding environments in terms of safety. Technicians and linemen responsible for maintaining, installing or repairing high-voltage lines often work several dozen metres above the ground, in conditions where the slightest misstep can have dramatic consequences. In addition to the electrical risk, the main threat to these professionals is falling from a height.
To ensure safety when working at height, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) is essential. Fall arrest harnesses with work positioning, lanyards, mobile anchor point systems and vertical lifelines are all essential tools for guaranteeing the stability and safety of workers throughout their operations. These devices not only prevent falls, but also ensure an inspected descent in the event of an emergency or problem.
Work on pylons requires meticulous preparation, including a study of the risks, extensive training in climbing techniques and the use of PPE, and perfect coordination between teams on the ground and those at height. The isolated nature of some towers makes the effectiveness of rescue equipment, such as winches and self-rescue devices, all the more crucial.
The combination of the technical expertise of the linemen and the rigorous use of PPE ensures that every tower operation is carried out in optimum safety conditions. In an environment where the margins for error are virtually non-existent, the safety of workers depends above all on rigorous practices and quality equipment.
Events
The events sector encompasses a variety of occupations that frequently involve working at height. Whether it's erecting stage structures, installing lighting, hanging decorative elements or assembling stages and grandstands, event technicians, stage managers and fitters often work in high-risk situations. Working at height, often under pressure and to tight deadlines, requires particular attention to safety.
In this context, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) against falls from height is essential. Safety harnesses, fall arrest lanyards, temporary lifelines and removable anchoring systems help to keep technicians safe during assembly, dismantling and height adjustment. Whether on an outdoor stage, in a concert hall or in a stadium, these devices play a key role in protecting professionals during complex installations.
The temporary nature of event structures adds an extra dimension of precaution. Teams need to be trained in the use of PPE and safety procedures specific to this type of environment, where every detail counts to avoid accidents. Working conditions can vary from outdoor installations with changing weather conditions, to handling heavy and bulky loads at height.
In a sector where every project is unique and technical constraints are constantly evolving, the right PPE enables event professionals to work with complete peace of mind, while guaranteeing the safety of all involved.
