GRIPPS® is the global leader in innovative and practical tool tethering and engineered drop prevention solutions for utilities operation and power generation.
Routine maintenance at large-scale utility and power generation facilities occur frequently, an example being a substantial undertaking that involves deploying specialist technicians, many of whom work at height near critical infrastructure.
During these resource-intensive maintenance periods, mitigating the dual risk to workers and equipment from dropped or falling objects from walkways and stairways is a core concern for plant owners and their maintenance teams.
Controls such as tethers, tool belts, exclusion areas, overhead protection, and containment sheeting or encapsulation can prevent tools from falling and protect people below. To prevent materials from falling, or being dropped, from temporary laydown areas at height, proper management is essential. Clearly define the responsibility for these areas, and ensure the use of signs or barriers along with conducting daily inspections.
To prevent any incidents, a safety risk assessment must be conducted to evaluate the job environment, identify potential dynamic dropped objects and the appropriate drop prevention solution(s).
We have years of experience and some of the most reliable tools in the game. Our clients include oil & gas, chemical manufacturing, mining and beyond. View our range of engineered drop prevention solutions including tool tethers, drop mats and more, or contact us today.
