Safety splint device for working at height

Safety splint device for working at height

To start the concept of this article, it is worth emphasizing the importance of a correct planning of the SPICQ (System of Individual Protection Against The Fall), to increasingly reduce the risks of impact that the employee will have, either in his own body, as in some obstacle. In view of the concept mentioned above, we will talk about the connection element, called TALABARTE. The Talabarte is an equipment that keeps the professional connected to a structure in which the functions that encompass the same are fall restriction, fall arrest and /or positioning. As mentioned above, talabarte is the connecting element between the worker's seat belt with the anchorage point, being fixed or temporary, in which he will remain connected while performing his activity. The main concern that every safety technician responsible for the analysis and prior planning before the activity is to [...]

How to protect the worker in confined spaces?

How to protect the worker in confined spaces?

First, we need to understand what is characterized by confined spaces. According to NR33, confined space is configured: "any area or environment not designed for continuous human occupation, which has limited means of entry and exit, whose existing ventilation is insufficient to remove contaminants or where oxygen deficiency or enrichment may exist. The areas that work the most in confined spaces are: maintenance, cleaning and construction. It is a high-risk activity, which usually occurs in works involving excavations, pipes and galleries, construction of wells, ditches, tanks, columns, ovens, ventilation ducts, agricultural silos, installations and maintenance of hydraulic, electrical and reservoir networks. The main risks in this work are chemical poisoning, suffocation, explosions and toxic gas leakage. Therefore, it is very important that the employee and the employer follow [...]
