Working at ground level, your hard hat protects you from an object falling from above.
However, when someone is working aloft, a falling hard hat becomes a missile that
endangers
the entire worksite.
FallTech, a leader in personal safety fall protection products has launched a new family of DuraTech self-retracting devices with a side cable payout, a new generation of SRD.
The ASTM
F2302 standard,
Standard Performance Specification for Labeling Protective
Clothing as Heat and Flame Resistant, was designed to be a minimum standard for labeling
flame resistant garments. Originally intended for single-use garments or miscellaneous flame resistance needs with low-level exposures, the misuse of the standard has forced the
committee to withdraw it until such a time as the standard could ensure no unsafe products
would meet minimum requirements, reports Hugh Hoagland, managing partner of e-Hazard Management LLC and president of
ArcWear Inc. of Louisville, Ky.

Construction workers continue to face some of the highest risks when it comes to injuries
in the workplace. One of the most concerning involves traumatic brain injuries (TBI), often
caused by falls and being struck by moving vehicles.
After decades of managing costs for employers, it's time for workers' compensation
professionals and public policymakers to turn their attention to the needs of injured workers
and think of themselves more as players in a broader safety net, workers' compensation
experts were told last week.
