Does your company have a confined space rescue plan? With limited oxygen, toxic chemicals and gases, and an increased risk of fires or drowning, confined spaces are incredibly dangerous, and every second counts when rescuing injured workers. Plus, it's an OSHA requirement to have a rescue plan in place for your workers. With the help of our Fall Protection Specialists, this article will give you five tips on how to create an effective confined space rescue plan. We will also discuss: • What is a confined space  • What are the OSHA regulations surrounding confined space work  • The importance of documenting and practicing your rescue plan  • The cost of confined space rescue equipment 📖: https://lnkd.in/ew9aKzze

Do you know the difference between cut protection and abrasion protection?  Protecting your lifting slings is great practice, but you also need to ensure you are using the correct type of sling protection for the job. Unfortunately, some people overlook the differences between cut and abrasion protection. What are they? With the help of Terry Driscoll, we break it down. Abrasion protection is great to use when lifting things with rough edges or even just everyday daily use. Synthetic slings are easily damaged, and once abrasion occurs on the sling, it can no longer be used to lift a load. This is removal criteria, and the sling needs to be pulled from service.   Cut protection should be used anytime you are lifting anything with an edge. An edge, whether you think it is "sharp" or not can cut through a synthetic sling like butter once a heavy load is applied. We understand that there are many types of abrasion and cut protection products out on the market.
