Representatives of different professions:installers, firefighters, rescuers, industrial climbers - often have to perform work associated with height. They require the use of special security measures and should exclude the possible fall of the employee.
To ensure the safety and conduct of thistype of work there is a personal protective equipment, such as a safety belt. Human life directly depends on this equipment, therefore assembly belts are made of high-strength materials using high technologies.
Depending on the application, the mounting belt can be not only the main tool, but also an aid. Firefighters and rescuers use it to evacuate the victims.
Application area
Пояс монтажный предохранительный, или retaining leash, performs the function of protecting a person from falling from a height. It holds and fixes the worker on vertical structures, eliminating stall and fall.
Use it:
- When working on communication lines and power transmissions.
- On the oil and radio towers.
- During the construction of high-rise objects.
- When working in wells and tanks.
- When cleaning works.
- In industrial mountaineering.
- When repairing bulky equipment in enterprises.
The mounting belts firmly hold the human body,not allowing him to be injured in a strong wind from strikes against the structure, excluding the possibility of its breakdown or swinging. Properly chosen equipment protects the lower back of the worker and prevents the development of sciatica, osteochondrosis, rupture of the spinal muscles as a result of lifting and moving weights at height.
Types and types of high-altitude equipment
All belts used at height can be of two types: safety and installation.
The first kind is mainly used for carrying,evacuation of people or for work requiring suspension, movement along a safety cable. It is usually fitted with cross-over shoulder straps and an extra strap on the chest. This belt is more reliable, it has a comfortable fit.
Assembly belts are intended only for fixing.at a specific height. Mostly used equipment type "sash", characterized by high comfort. The belt tightly covers the waist of the worker, is equipped with fastening rings, which are attached to the safety lines. The length of the sling is calculated in such a way that when a worker breaks down from the construction plane, the height of the fall does not exceed half a meter. For such cases, many types of belts are equipped with shock absorbers.
Testing
The first test mounting belts are held at the factory. They are subjected to static and dynamic loads. Attached to them are tags with the date of testing.
At enterprises and organizations, all types of belts before being issued to employees undergo a visual inspection for the presence of gusts of a sling, extension of fastening rings, carbines.
In addition, once a year testing mounting beltsIt is carried out in a specialized organization, where they are subjected to full certification using static and dynamic loads. Belts that fail the test are rejected.
Tests are conducted in accordance with GOST, are documented, tags are attached to the belts with the next date of inspection.
Varieties of slings for mounting belts
Slings supplied with protective equipmentcan be from a kapron tape or from a chain. Chain slings are used for work related to the aggressive environment, sparks, flame, hot metal.
So, to work at heights you need to purchase a mounting belt. Its price ranges from 270 to 1600 rubles.
