While often overlooked, the right "safety latch hooks" and "fall protection connectors" are critical "Cable Rigging Accessories" for preventing accidents:

• Safety Latch Hooks: Feature a spring-loaded latch that automatically closes and locks over the hook opening, preventing the sling or load from inadvertently disengaging, even under slack conditions or shock loads. Options include self-locking hooks for added security.

• Fall Protection Connectors: These are integral components of a personal fall arrest system for workers operating at height during rigging. They include specialized carabiners, snap hooks, and D-rings designed to withstand significant forces and prevent accidental disengagement, connecting harnesses to anchor points or lifelines.

These accessories significantly reduce the risk of dropped loads and personnel falls, which are major safety concerns in power line and substation work.
