As a consultant we study the systems that have previously been selected or if you want,

we recommend the ones we think necessary according to the work areas, construction

techniques and structural elements, where these systems will be installed, the protective

equipment that has to be used according to the activity type that will make the teams, in

order to develop a joint and definite plan.

Technical and esthetical factors provide the installation with a balanced personality,

depending on the industrial, urban or leisure.

Stages Studies

Initial stage: We advise in order to guide the involved parties in the preliminary works.

Training

Companies require the most complete training taught by experienced instructors that transmit

the maximum security for its workers who carry out the access, transit, stay and fall of any

work stages at falling risk from heights.

We understand that these services must be performed in a personalized way, depending on

the work areas and following a strict plan, sparing no human or economic resources and

providing it to the largest number of companies and workers.

Our work philosophy is based on a mutual and solid experience in dealing with the human

staffs, in an comprehensive systems and components knowledge, providing solutions which

result in greater and better work performance and what is more important, that trained people

acquire a greater commitment with the safety of their lives and the importance of teamwork.

These programmes are based on procedures and techniques adapted to the multiple

industrial settings, by "related modules" that facilitate the proper implementation by human

staffs.

These programs fulfil the requirements of the Standards and the American and European

Legislation currently in force, just as the instructions for the proper use of PPE´s,

established by the manufacturers according to the ANSI and UNE EN 365:2005, such as:

Harnesses, connectors, energy absorbers, retractable blocks, sliding fall arrest,

manual, semi-automatic and automatic descender.

In addition to these programs, it facilitate the incorporation of certified rescue evacuation

systems in all types of industries.

Rescue systems, with and without approximation, in vertical, horizontal, sloping,

deep or confined spaces.

Support systems, tripods, drive pulley integrated systems, stretcher, manual and

motorized winches, etc.

Our training programs are adapted to all industrial activities, wherever there is a need to

use fall arrest systems for work staffs, whether in a casual or intense way.

In training programs the present systems and work procedures are evaluated, confirming

their suitability and proper use, or the recommendation to improve them.

Evacuation and rescue procedures are practised.

8

Every company has an obligation to give the proper instructions to workers, being this

one of the essential principles of Occupational Prevention Risks.

It is especially important in particularly dangerous risky works (work an heights, electrical

hazard, confined spaces, etc.)

All work instructions shall be contained in writing in case of critical tasks due to the

importance of the risks, the complexity of the tasks.

This procedure is essential when communication problems can arise between the

installation responsible in which must intervene and the workers who must perform the

work (NTP 562 Spain)

«Safe work procedure» means the effective implementation of a coordinated activities

and tasks series that clearly define the operations sequence to develop in a normal

situation, in planned changes and foreseeable emergencies by defining:

9

The work material resources and the personal and collective protective equipment.

The required human resources, giving indication of their qualifications, training and

assigning tasks.

In order to introduce a Certificated Work Procedure we should take into account the

following structure:

Strategies: Define policies, aims and alignments to achieve the proper application of

the Prevention in the work operatives.

Procedures: We must identify, analyse and implement the processes, the activities

and the required procedures for carrying out the work. We also must define the

monitoring and control activities for the efficient processes operation.

Resources: Define clear staff assignments, needed equipment and/or machinery for

the production or service delivery, the workplace and the needed financial resources

to support the quality activities.

Organizational Structure: Define and establish responsibilities, authorities and

communication flow structure inside the organization.

Documents: Establish the procedures, documents, forms, records and any other

documentation related to the effective and efficient processes operation and therefore

the organization.

10

The ref: ANSI and UNE-EN 365:2005 standard, specify the minimum general

requirements for the use instructions, maintenance, periodic review, repair, mark and

PPE´s packing against falls from heights.

With regard to review instructions, it indicates that these reviews should be made at least

every 12 months by competent people, and strictly following the review procedures

specified by the manufacturer.

We offer the following optional services, in order to adapt ourselves to customer

requirements, regardless of the activity, for intervention either in equipment used

individually or collectively (*)

(*) Body pressure device and other equipment used together with it, to prevent the

falls, allowing the access to the working position, the movement and the submission

in it, in order to stop the falls and to make an evacuation or a rescue.

11

Optional Services

Fall arrest PPE´s review in the company facilities, including the labelling.

Fall arrest PPE´s review in our facilities.

Training support course to employees (managers, supervisors and technicians) to entitle

them in the review procedure specified by the manufacturer in its use instructions, in the

own customers´ facilities.

12

ANSI and CE 365 Standard Fall arrest PPE´s use and maintenance instructions, clearly

indicates the need to have an evacuation and rescue system, when we use this kind of

protective equipment.

The use of fall arrest systems unavoidably leads to know and use some techniques and

rescue systems, to prevent or minimize the suspension trauma effects, which makes that an

extended exposure of a hanging person by a fall effect can in a short time period result in

death.

In work performed in confined spaces, at heights where falls can be produced, in the

approach roads, etc. quick action, is crucial following the established procedure for these

cases, such as to avoid an incident and this results in a serious or death accident.

13

Evacuation and rescue at heights or industrial, urban or leisure activities

Industrial rescue techniques are contemplated, based on international procedures

certificates, depending on the needs of the workplace:

SKED ® Rescue Stretcher Made in USA

LSP Half Back Vertical Extrication Device. Made in USA

Evacuation and rescue in confined spaces or industrial, urban or leisure activities

The accesses to deep or confined places are usually equipped with fixed or removable

ladders similar systems, the fall arrest associated systems depending on the stage type

are for example: tripod ANSI and CE EN 795 Class B Standard, retractable block ANSI and

CE EN 360 Standard combined with rescue systems.

Also depending on the workplace complexity, are used combined systems which are

industrially tested are used, for example:

Winches, hold systems and zip lines.

Manual, semi – automatic or automatic descending systems.

Other activities that the Rescue and Emergency Group performed at the facilities are:

Coaching, mock rescue, training, dangerous places markings, induction actions of

employees, security coordination, risk assessment, etc.
