Workshop Safety

-

FALLING objects are a major cause of lost time injuries and fatalities in the global mining industry.

For more than 20 years, Dropsafe’s innovative products have become the standard for securing overhead fixtures in the resources sector; one of the world’s most hostile and hazardous working environmen­ts.

Products such as patented mesh-security solutions are safety devices that securely enclose and tether overhead fixtures to prevent falling objects.

The nets are designed and tested to fit a variety of fixture types including flood lights, strobe lights, speakers, CCTV cameras, and pipe clamps and junctions boxes.

Other products include Dropsafe barriers to prevent tools falling through open guard railings and elevated work platforms; Dropsafe pouches to secure handheld items while working at height; and Dropsafe padlocks with a security cable to ensure padlocks are kept safe at height.

The adoption and standardis­ation by industry of Dropsafe products reflect the commitment from customers and highlight the importance of workplace safety.
