Safety expert Arco has introduced a new line of equipment for working at height, created in collaboration with specialists from its safety services division and fall protection manufacturing partners.
The new collection introduces Arco’s own brand to complement the extensive array of fall protection equipment already available from major names in the safety industry.
The collection includes 17 products such as safety harnesses, anchorage slings, arrest, restraint and positioning lanyards, and self-retracting blocks, all crafted to ensure worker safety during tasks at height and within confined spaces.
Harnesses and lanyards are utilized in tandem to avert accidents in situations where there is a risk of falling from any height. Self-retracting blocks, on the other hand, are intended for use in lower-height scenarios, where they lock immediately upon impact to prevent falls.
Experts at Arco Professional Safety Services are utilizing the new equipment in the field and during training courses at the company’s five safety centers throughout the UK.
Mike Clayton, technical lead for working at height at Arco Professional Safety Services, said: “The new Arco working at height equipment range has been designed, developed with help from our own experts to bring total assurance and quality to the safety products market.
“Arco leads the market in working at height expertise with our joined-up safety solutions tailoring the perfect combination of products and services.
“Bringing our own working at height product range to the market furthers this offering, with another avenue for our core purpose, keeping people at work safe.”
Falling from height is the most common cause of death in the workplace, accounting for 36% of fatal injuries in 2023/24, according to recent HSE statistics[i].
As a trusted safety provider with 140 years of experience, Arco offers working at height equipment for sale and hire, as well as safety solutions such as consultancy, training and equipment maintenance services through its Arco Professional Safety Services division.
