Beyond basic PPE, what specialized "safety accessories" are crucial for personnel working with tension stringing equipment?
2025-07-21While standard PPE (hard hats, safety glasses, gloves, etc.) is foundational, specialized "safety accessories" are vital for high-tension stringing operations:
-
Fall Arrest & Restraint Systems: Including harnesses, lanyards, and lifelines for personnel working on towers or elevated platforms.
-
Communication Systems: Two-way radios or hands-free headsets for clear, continuous communication between operators and ground crew.
-
Emergency Stop Systems (Remote): Though often integrated into main equipment, some portable remote emergency stop devices can be considered accessories.
-
Line Hose & Insulator Covers: For temporary insulation of nearby energized lines or equipment.
-
High-Visibility Clothing: For improved visibility on the job site.
We advocate for comprehensive safety training and the use of all necessary safety accessories to protect lives and prevent accidents.
