A partnership made at the top of The O2

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

When it comes to the responsibility of keeping people safe at work and protecting business reputation, working with a trusted safety partner, who can provide expert advice and guidance, is critical.

Safety company Arco is said to have the country’s largest dedicated team of NEBOSH qualified experts who are able to provide customers with both practical advice and guidance, as well as a range of quality safety products and training services to keep people safe. When the world’s biggest-selling entertainment venue, the O2, needed a safety partner they could trust, they chose Arco.

As well as supplying safety solutions to those who work in and around the O2, Arco’s critical role also included the design of bespoke solutions for keeping visitors to the 'Up at the O2' experience safe, as they conquer the summit of London. This provided Arco with a unique set of challenges with 380m of flexible fabric walkway, changeable weather conditions and urban mountaineers of all ages, sizes and ability wanting to enjoy this unique experience, safely.

Arco’s designers developed a climb shoe that provides comfort, grip and durability, a safety harness that is simple to operate, strong and durable and a climb suit for all weathers.
