Fall Arrest Safety

FALL SUSPENSION ALERT SYSTEMS

Do you have people working alone or at height?

Grace Industries WorkForce® product line provides reliable fall suspension trauma alerting and protection devices for a variety of industries including utilities, construction, arborist, scaffold workers and windfarms.

Fall Protection remains in the top 10 OSHA violations. After a fall, the response time is critical for a worker hanging for a prolonged period of time placing them at serious risk of Suspension Trauma, defined as the loss of consciousness when hanging with limited movement. This danger is life threatening when response is beyond a critical time window of several minutes.

The WorkForce® product line uses an advanced gyro/accelerometer sensor to detect a worker’s fall from heights and automatically transmits a wireless emergency alert without any action required by the worker. WorkForce® transmits this wireless emergency signal that is received by others facilitating a “prompt rescue”. 

Personal fall arrest and fall restraint systems .. fall arrest devices .. active fall arrest .. safety harnesses and lanyards are just a few of the key words found around those who work at heights. The best fall protection plan will provide a user the means to self-rescue but what happens when a user is unable to self-rescue? What happens after a fall? Studies show that workers left hanging are at risk of suspension trauma, a deadly condition that can develop in a within less than 20 minutes. 

Workforce® Fall Detection and Suspension Trauma Prevention Systems are designed to help those who can’t help themselves and unable to self-rescue. WorkForce® detects a fall and  immediately notifies others initiating a  prompt rescue. 

WorkForce® goes beyond the minimum requirements of fall protection. After a fall, Workforce® is the answer to what happens next.
