Same fall. Two very different outcomes.

We dropped a weighted test dummy on two common fall protection setups:

🔴 6' shock-absorbing lanyard: up to 6 ft of free fall before it engages, plus up to 3.5 ft more while the shock pack deploys. Watch how hard that stop hits.

🟢 Self-retracting lifeline (SRL): locks almost instantly and stops the fall near the platform.

The less distance you fall, the less force your body has to absorb, and the less clearance you need below you.

Not sure which setup is right for your crew or jobsite? Our fall protection team can help with equipment, on-site training and clearance planning.

Fall Protection training - delivered.

Providing the right gear to your team is just the first step. Our eastside team, led by Darren Gilton, spent the day with Tomkat Safety for hands-on fall protection training: classroom time on the standards, harness fitting, live drop tests, and real suspension demos so everyone could feel what it's like to be in a fall and deploy safety methods like trauma straps.

Huge thanks to the Tomkat crew for bringing the trailer and sharing their expertise!

It's Fire Prevention Week! This year's NFPA theme is "Charge into Fire Safety: Safe Charging Is a Superpower" — a reminder that the lithium-ion batteries in our phones, laptops, and cordless power tools need respect on the jobsite too.

A few quick habits for your crew:
✅ Use the charger that came with the tool
✅ Don't charge damaged, swollen, or overheated batteries
✅ Unplug once fully charged
✅ Keep charging stations clear of combustibles and away from exits

Our Workplace Fire Safety Checklist walks you through extinguishers, exits, housekeeping, and more. Find the link to the free downloadable PDF in the comments!

Kneeling on concrete. Lifting all shift. Running a grinder for hours.

Those everyday tasks add up. About 1 in 3 injuries that keep workers off the job are musculoskeletal: strains, sprains and repetitive-motion injuries. Good ergonomic gear is one of the simplest ways to prevent them.
