Tool Tethering for Working at Height

Dropped tools and objects consistently play a leading role globally, as one of the highest causes of fatalities and serious injuries for workers on-site.

Working in parallel with industries that operate at height, Gripps engineers practical safety solutions that increase working efficiencies while mitigating the risks of drops.

Make sure you follow these best practices when working at height to avoid injury to yourself or others.

1. Never attach a tool weighing more than 2.5kg/5.5lbs to your person.
2. Never attach a tool tether longer than 25cm/10" to your wrist.
3. Only ever attach tools to your wrist using certified wrist bands or GRIPPS® gloves.
4. Ensure all tool bags and lifting bags are fully sealed when being lifted and transported.
5. Never leave tools loose or unsecured when at height.
