Fall protection covered
16 August 2013
In certain environments workers may need a protective coverall in addition to a fall arrest system. However, layering coveralls and harnesses can be risky: the wearer must ensure they are compatible; extra training must be given; and comfort could be compromised.
To combat these problems, Floeire, part of the Nomex Partner Program, has designed and patented the new FallX fall arrest suit, a coverall made from DuPont Nomex Comfort that combines a harness and a flame resistant coverall. The entire coverall is heat and flame resistant and is CE certified, removing the need for separate inspections, additional training and compliance issues. The suit will also reduce the force of the fall, as the force is absorbed through the whole suit.
