A HEIGHT SAFETY REVOLUTION

Around the world, work-at-height accidents are still far too common, despite increased awareness and improvements in height safety legislation.

Ensuring the safety of those working at height has often been difficult, requiring complex, multiple systems and extensive user training. So, in 2003, we began our quest to revolutionise height safety technology. The result is the Limpet™, which was launched - after several years of development, testing and CE certification - a BWEA 31 in Liverpool in October 2009.

The Limpet™ is the world's first fully integrated multi-functional height safety system, and was developed to provide five key work-at-height safety functions in one total solution. It has been created to fill an obvious 'safety gap' - no other system includes all these key functions in one.

The Limpet™ has already raised the bar in height safety. After recognising that existing standards were not stringent enough, we highlighted the need for a new, advanced standard under European PPE Regulations to test the increased functionality and safety tolerances of our product. This standard, Limpet Test Standard 001:2009, now represents the worldwide benchmark for equipment of this type.
