Safe cable handling with polyester ‘S’-shaped hooks

Canadian Mining Journal Staff | April 1, 2004 | 12:00 am

Disorder on the workshop floor during building and maintenance work can lead to accidents that may result in long-term injuries. More than 20% of accidents are the result of falls caused by tripping over electrical cables, welding cables, fire hoses, air hoses, etc., spread over decks and work floors. Such accidents can be avoided by using Cablesafe to suspend all cables, extension cords, wires and hoses away.

Developed by Westmark BV, the S-shaped hooks are produced from very strong and sophisticated non-conductive and non-flammable reinforced polyester. In emergency situations the escape routes can be kept free of obstacles enabling better access and evacuation.

The most recent development are hooks that glow in the dark, which enable hook usage in dark spaces such as storage tanks, legs of drilling rigs, submarines and underground tunnels. For more information visit www.cablesafe.com.
