FallTech New Distributor for XSPlatforms in Fall Protection

GORINCHEM, The Netherlands, November 2, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Thanks to a new dealership agreement cost-effective, permanent lifeline solutions are now available throughout the United States. XSPlatforms and FallTech are proud to announce a new and dynamic dealership in fall protection.

Fall Protection. Risks when working at heights are still underestimated. Unfortunately, fatal falls remain an everyday risk for workers carrying out their jobs. Fatal falls alone account for more than 15% of work-related fatal accidents. A comprehensive fall protection plan not only saves lives but is also required by OSHA, the main federal agency charged with the enforcement of safety and health legislation.

Products. As an official XSPlatforms dealer, FallTech will distribute all XSPlatforms' fall protection products. The unique, patented XTS-Linked system is maintenance free and certified to the latest standards. Its flexibility allows it to be used on various types of roofs, walls and ceilings. This horizontal lifeline system comprises a number of anchorage points which are connected by a steel cable. The XTS-Impact anchor points have an integrated shock absorption mechanism that minimizes impact in the event of a fall. Installation is 4-5 times faster than with conventional anchors, plus it leaves roofs to be waterproof.

FallTech will also distribute the complete range of XTP Guardrails. These versatile guardrails are available in three versions: straight, curved and foldable. XSPlatforms guardrails offer maximum security with minimal impact on a building's design. They can even add to a building's aesthetic value.

They are the ideal solution if more than two people regularly work on a building's roof. Like the XTS-system, the XTP-Guardrail system is maintenance free, patented and fully certified.
