Work more safely near edges with Edge Tested lanyards
Imagine you’re working at height. Naturally, your first choice should be a lanyard that prevents you from falling over the edge. To be 100% safe, the lanyard must be shorter than the distance between the anchor point and the edge. In many situations, however, this is not practical, so users opt for adjustable safety lines or self-retracting lifelines. I’d like to share my insights on this.
Fall protection user weight: remember to include the weight of the equipment
When selecting personal fall protection equipment, one of the key considerations is the user’s weight. This is absolutely essential for the user’s safety. Most commonly sold fall protection equipment is only suitable for a user weight of up to 100 kg, as manufacturers base this limit on the test weight specified in the relevant standard tests.

Inspection of Fall Protection Equipment on a RollDock Shipping B.V. Vessel
Under the Dutch Working Conditions Act (Arbowet), all fall protection equipment used for working at height must be inspected annually. RollDock Shipping B.V. has relied on Mennens (and previously Safe Site) for these inspections on its vessels for many years, including on the BigRoll Beaufort. Mennens ensures that all safety equipment meets strict safety requirements while allowing operations on board the BigRoll Beaufort to continue without interruption.
