Product Profile February 2009: Hy-Safe Technology

Editor Note: We accept advertising for many interesting products. We asked Hy-Safe Technology to explain their fall protection solutions.
 
Falls account for more serious injuries and deaths in construction than anything else. Accidents occur not only to those building roofs, but also people maintaining, cleaning, demolishing and inspecting roofs. Hy-Safe Technology is a complete turnkey fall protection solutions provider. What this means is that Hy-Safe comes full circle in providing you with a single source for Fall Protection. Hy-Safe offers:

Risk Assessment: Hy-Safe's assessment services target on the job site areas that need attention. The reviews of both fall hazard risk assessment and OSHA compliance assessment provide the information and tools necessary to comply with the standards and provide a safe working environment.  

System Design: The design stage organizes and develops the fall protection risk assessment results. The design variables include the available support structure, the work area, obstructions and worker mobility requirements. This information is analyzed and a fall protection solution tailored to the specific application and environment is designed.

System Engineering: Once the basic fall protection solution is determined, Hy-Safe engineers establish critical technical specifications to assure system integrity and cost compliance.

Fabrication: Every fall protection application and need is different from customer to customer. The off the shelf components will not always provide an entire solution. Custom designed fall arrest system fabrications allow Hy-Safe to provide turnkey fall protection solutions for every need.

Installation: Once on site, Hy-Safe's experienced construction team adheres strictly to fall arrest system engineered drawings and specifications. This assures a completed project that delivers 100% of its intended performance.

Component Testing: All of the fall arrest components are visually inspected and load tests are performed in accordance with Hy-Safe's strict testing procedures.

Training Programs: Training is a critical part of Hy-Safe's offering. The right fall protection equipment coupled with the right training program enhances workers' safety on the job.  Training on fall protection is a process that begins and continues as your use of fall protection equipment becomes a natural addition to your performance.  Regardless of when fall protection fits into your safety plan, Hy-Safe offers several courses, on site or in our fully equipped training facility, to complete your fall protection knowledge.

Recertification Program: Annual inspection of personal fall arrest systems is required under ANSI Standard Z359.1-1992.  Hy-Safe certifies all of its fall protection equipment when it is initially installed and offers an annual recertification and repair program.
