PRODUCTS SCAFFOLD SOLUTION PROVIDES
ADVANCED SAFETY For the specific working conditions that scaffolders face every day, MSA offers a personal fall protection solution that combines practicality with peace of mind. The V-TEC Personal Fall Limiter with aluminium scaff hook delivers durable protection that is both quick and easy to use, and comfortable to wear all day, every day thanks to its lightweight construction.
The scaffolding industry remains in the top three of the Occupational Safety and Health Admin’s (OSHA) most cited violations with the most frequent transgression relating to “Each employee on a scaffold more than 10 feet above a lower level shall be protected from falling to that lower level.”
The very nature of their work means scaffolders, when erecting, altering or dismantling scaffolding, are regularly exposed to the risk of a fall. In addition, scaffolders often work in adverse weather conditions – rain, high winds and ice can all significantly increase the risk.
MSA’s Technical Manager for Fall Protection Tim
Bissett commented: “In the hierarchy of fall protection the first step is to avoid the risk, which we realise is not practicable for scaffolders much of the time. What the
V-TEC scaff hook solution provides is a fall protection system that enables a scaffolder to carry out their work while secured to either horizontal, vertical, or tube connections between joints.”
In the UK, the National Access and Scaffolding Safety Confederation has produced its recommendations and guidance SG4:15 Preventing Falls in Scaffolding Operations which includes: “Karabiners that are designed especially for attaching to scaffold standards make an effective and efficient anchor device.”
Also suited for ladder work, with a single-handed operation, the aluminium scaff hook has an easy-on, easy-off hook with an automatic closing feature. It is compliant with EN, ANSI and CSA requirements.
The V-TEC PFL is a compact and durable self- retracting lanyard incorporating innovative energy absorbing technology. Its pedigree comes from developments in the high-tech automotive industry combining an ultra-tough polycarbonate transparent outer casing that facilitates inspection.

Ed Barnes, Traffic Innovation Manager at Seton commented: “Existing traffic calming products are notoriously characterised by low durability and poor quality, with recent research showing that almost a quarter of motorists have suffered vehicle damage due to such measures. As health and safety experts, we wanted to develop a solution to these problems, providing businesses and organisations operating a private car park the ability to meet their legal obligations.
RACING AHEAD IN
TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT Seton, a specialist manufacturer and distributor of health and safety solutions, has launched a speed bump which offers market leading strength and durability.
With an innovative ground fixing rail system that significantly reduces deformation and distortion, the Seton Speed Bump has been developed following extensive research into current customer needs and existing products within the marketplace.
The Seton Speed Bump boasts a unique chevron interlocking shape for enhanced strength, while the rail system significantly reduces the stress levels of the ground bolts, minimising the risk of the speed bump being dislodged and damaging vehicles.
A colour contrast lifetime guarantee ensures the speed bump remains highly visible for maximum impact.

“The Seton Speed Bump is the result of an intensive and extensive research and development programme. It has been designed to tackle the common problem of speed bumps being ripped up, offering a durable, easy install solution for facilities managers, health and safety managers and estates managers as well as contractors and installers.”
The unique Seton Speed Bump rail system enables bolt heads to be as close to the car park’s surface as possible, greatly reducing bolt movement. The upright surface of the rails improves lateral drag resistance and increases crush resistance, which provides additional strength and durability in comparison with standard non-rail installation speed bumps.
Available in two height and material options, the Seton Speed Bump marks the start of an extensive programme of innovative product development for the health and safety manufacturer and distributor.
