SAFER BY DESIGN
The Limpet™ has been developed and rigorously tested to ensure it meets - and exceeds - all current safety standards. Why? Because safety lies at the heart of everything we do.
As part of the product development process, the Limpet™ underwent extensive field trials over a seven-year period. Today, core components are engineered for a minimum 25-year lifespan. Furthermore, by offering a simple, intuitive and safe method of working at height, the Limpet™ greatly reduces the likelihood of the user errors and fatigue that can lead to accidents.
The Limpet™ has already raised the bar in height safety. After recognising that existing standards were not stringent enough, we created a new, advanced standard under European PPE Regulations to test the increased functionality and safety tolerances of our product. It's called the Limpet Test Standard 001:2009 and represents the worldwide benchmark for multi-functional height safety systems.
