OUR MISSION IS TO MAKE WORK PLACES SAFER

TOOL@RREST GLOBAL – WHERE DID IT ALL START?

The Tool@rrest Global tether was developed almost 10 years ago and was subject to a 12 month programme of independent testing in the University of Wolverhampton specialist Engineering Facility with over 2,500 tests completed using the Weibull distribution modulus.

This model is one of the most widely used lifetime models in reliability engineering and through this application the Tool@rrest Global tether was certified to be statistically failsafe with a failure rate of 0.000000003 in 1 million.

WHY TOOL@RREST GLOBAL?

Because it is safe, independently tested and individually serial numbered.

Tool@rrest Global provides a complete solution for stopping tools and objects from being dropped when working at height, centring around an independently tested, statistically fail-safe tool tether encompassing an innovative range of lanyards, tool belts and tool storage equipment.

Our “Retr@fit” and self-fit tethers can uniquely be applied to almost all of your existing tools as well as being available on new tools. Used as a complete end to end system, this allows operators to effectively and safely handle tools and provide a safe storage solution when not in use or when being transported.

WHY DO I NEED TO TETHER MY TOOLS?

This is an increasingly common question we are asked by clients ranging from construction companies to global blue-chip oil and gas corporations with operations spanning the globe. Dropped tools and objects can cause both serious and fatal injuries when working at height. For employers and clients, they can also mean damage to equipment and structures, costly down time, litigation, fines and loss of reputation.

HOW BIG IS THE PROBLEM?

  • Dropped objects tend to be the 2nd most common cause of workplace death.
  • Many companies and government authorities now require the risk of dropped objects to be eliminated and not just managed.
  • Backed by the serious financial/legal consequences at both an individual and corporate level its time to take steps A, B and C. Be safe, Tool@rrest.
