European debut
May 1st 2008 Bomac Engineering of Australia
used this year's Safety & Health
Expo to present to Europe its
Altrac rigid rail fall arrest and rope
access system, available through
its subsidiary operation Bomac
Europe.
The system is a pre-engineered
package with a five-user and 7m
span. It is lightweight, easily
mounted to the structure and can
be configured with bends if
required.
To meet European compliance
for fall arrest purposes, Altrac has
achieved EN795 certification.
However, the company comments
that preventing or arresting a fall is
only part of any incident. How a
person is retrieved if a fall occurs is
also an important consideration. It
is essential to act quickly and
rescue the victim otherwise their
body will start to go into shock.
In the event of a fall situation, the
Altrac system is designed not to
collapse and other users on the rail
are not displaced. More articles from Bomac Europe: |
