ARCOPRO FALL ARREST PROVIDES WORKING AT HEIGHT SAFETY
SOLUTIONS ArcoPro Fall Arrest range offers the latest safety equipment for those working at height, supporting Arco’s ambition to offer a total safety solution for those most at risk. Using the ArcoPro Fall Arrest range, employers can provide everything needed to make sure that workers are kept safe, including body harnesses, connecting devices and fall arrest kits supplied in a handy rucksack.
All products in the ArcoPro range are fully tested, comply with all relevant European standards and carry the CE mark. The products are tested during the manufacturing process and again before distribution to the customer, to ensure they meet high specifications and perform in the most demanding situations.

Elasticated, soft Neoprene straps which have dust and particle resistant fastenings, allow the kneepads to be worn on bare skin without chafing, as well as over trousers, and ensure that they stay in the correct position when kneeling, walking or sitting.
The pads have a water- resistant covering and a soft breathable, inner fabric that wicks away sweat whilst providing thermal protection from warm or cold surfaces. Scientifically proven to reduce point pressure and distribute weight evenly, the impact forces associated with kneeling are absorbed, giving added protection against back and neck pain.
Durable and hardwearing, Redbacks strapped kneepads give the user all- day comfort and long-term protection even in the most aggressive of environments.

solution, specialist wire blocks made of non-corrosive galvanised steel for use in harsher conditions and a heavy duty, maintenance free self-retracting block.
For the industrial and construction sectors, where workers may wear their harnesses and safety equipment for long periods, Arco has incorporated an air mesh back plate to provide greater comfort in warm temperatures. Elasticated harnesses allow increased freedom of movement and offer a wider size range to
suit varied body shapes and sizes. Together with a light retractable block, weighing only 600g, Arco has ensured the products improve comfort, wearer acceptance and safety.
To make the selection process simple and accurate, Arco has produced an ArcoPro Product Selection Guide and has its own working at height experts available to carry out site surveys and provide guidance on product selection and training needs.
Adam Willcock, Arco’s Product and Procurement Manager, PPE, said: “Falls from height still account for almost one third of workplace deaths and injuries and we are now able to provide a complete safety solution for our customers. Following the acquisition of working at height training specialists, Total Access, we can now offer a fully comprehensive range of height safety solutions, including rope access and rooftop safety training, site services such as abseil window cleaning and site inspections and surveys. Our new ArcoPro Fall Arrest product range offers the latest innovations in working at height safety, but it’s just as important to be fully trained in how to use this equipment and how to work safely at height.”
