TOOL@RREST GLOBAL – WHERE DID IT ALL START?

The Tool@rrest Global tether was developed more than 10 years ago and underwent a comprehensive 12-month independent testing program at the University of Wolverhampton’s specialised Engineering Facility, where over 2,500 tests were conducted utilising the Weibull distribution modulus.

This model is among the most prevalent lifetime models in the field of reliability engineering. As a result of this rigorous testing, the Tool@rrest Global tether received certification as statistically failsafe, demonstrating an exceptionally low failure rate of 0.000000003 per million units.

WHY TOOL@RREST GLOBAL?

Because it is safe, independently tested and individually serial numbered.

Tool@rrest Global provides a complete solution for stopping tools and objects from being dropped when working at height, centring around an independently tested, statistically fail-safe tool tether encompassing an innovative range of lanyards, tool belts and tool storage equipment.

Our “Retr@fit” and self-fit tethers can uniquely be applied to almost all of your existing tools as well as being available on new tools. Used as a complete end to end system, this allows operators to effectively and safely handle tools and provide a safe storage solution when not in use or when being transported.

WHY DO I NEED TO TETHER MY TOOLS?

This is an increasingly common question we are asked by clients ranging from construction companies to global blue-chip oil and gas corporations with operations spanning the globe. The dropping of tools and objects poses a significant risk, potentially resulting in severe or even fatal injuries for individuals working at elevated heights. For employers and clients alike, such incidents can lead to damage to equipment and infrastructure, substantial downtime, legal actions, financial penalties, and a tarnished reputation.

HOW BIG IS THE PROBLEM?

  • Dropped tools and objects are the second leading cause of fatalities in the workplace.
  • Many companies and government authorities now require complete elimination of the risk associated with dropped tools and objects rather than merely managing it.
  • Backed by the serious financial and legal consequences at both an individual and corporate level, it’s time to take steps A, B and C. Prioritise safety, Tool@rrest.
