It’s hard to fathom that in this day and age of real-time data, education and technology, worker fatalities in the U.S. have actually increased (up 7 percent in 2016 according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics).
Ergodyne, a pioneer in the safety hazard category of Objects at Heights, has added two high-capacity tool lanyards to its innovative Squids® line of dropped objects prevention solutions.
The new additions are Ergodyne’s highest weight-rated tool lanyards to date, after being rigorously tested and third-party certified to a 40lb (18kg) maximum capacity.
