64Pages

For thirty years, Petzls mission has remained constant: to offer people practical solutions that maximize their safety and mobility in the vertical world, both at night and day. Our three areas of expertise: - vertical sports: equipment for mountaineering, climbing, caving, etc. - work at height and rescue: safety and progression solutions for difficult access worksites and technical rescue, - headlamps that provide hands-free lighting.Through our ongoing search for improvements in safety, comfort and simplicity, in sport, industry, and rescue. Petzl has greatly contributed to the emergence...

Falls are the single greatest cause of serious injury and death in the industrial sector globally. Regardless of work at height situations, the priority is placed on collective safety measures. The use of Personal Protective Equipment is authorized for several precise scenarios: - when external access is not possible (platforms, cherry pickers, etc.) - when installing collective protection systems is technically impossible - when using PPE can reduce risks - the job operations are infrequent and short-term. > For optimal safety, installing work at height and rescue systems with PPE must...

3 - Inert suspension: worsening a victims condition In the event of a fall, the fall arrest system is designed to minimize the effect of gravity on the human body (reduce the impact force, avoid or slow down the impact against objects). Despite that, the consequences of a fall are often serious. Hanging inertly in a harness, regardless of the model, can cause serious physiological problems. These problems are not encountered during the prolonged suspension of a conscious person, since he/she is continually shifting in the harness and the contact points change. Conclusion: teams must be...

Mt Rushmore / USA - Krcher David Franck In certain situations, accessing the work site is tricky, making it necessary to use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). This is the case, for example, during the installation of collective protection (lifelines, protective nets, etc.), or when overhanging structures or worksites do not allow for mobile platforms or scaffolding to be used. This is also the case for temporary access situations (worksite inspection, repair work, etc.), where it is not practical to set up collective protection.The worker at height accesses the site with ropes, using...

Gilles Codina Arborist techniques allow a tree to be trimmed or completely removed log by log. Depending on the case, movement and progression take place either around the outside of the tree, or on the inside. The use of an elevating platform, ladder, etc. is often difficult and allows neither access to all parts of the tree, nor much movement within the tree.To move around freely and efficiently, arborists put up a rope from the ground and then install a device for ascending the rope, chosen based on the shape and height of the tree. Once the arborist is in position, he needs to remain...

There are two types of metal structures: permanent installations (antennas, pylons, etc.) and temporary installations (stages, tents, etc.). Techniques for movement depend directly on the characteristics of the structure (shape, condition, etc.) and on the presence or absence of protective devices.Most of the time, whether they are temporary or permanent, these structures are not equipped with collective protection. The worker at height must therefore ensure his own safety with individual protection. This is the case, for example, when working on an antenna or when setting up or taking down...

Stephan Denys Before doing any work on a roof, workers at height must install safety equipment to protect themselves from the risk of sliding or falling. The type of system is determined by the length of the intervention. When the intervention is long, safety should be ensured with collective protection which eliminates all risk of falling; when the intervention is limited and short, safety is ensured with individual protection (Personal Protective Equipment is necessary in both cases if the building has not previously been equipped with collective protection, as it will protect the workers...

Thomas Marchand Self-rescue techniques allow an individual (crane operator, worker at height, etc.) to overcome an emergency situation completely on his own. Quick to put into action, this type of rescue does not require outside rescue services. For this purpose, each exposed person has a rescue kit containing equipment specifically adapted to the site. For maximum efficiency, this equipment must be light, simple to use, and remain permanently accessible. Specific training is absolutely necessary to use this equipment. When the victim is no longer able to self-rescue (loss of consciousness,...
