PPE against falls from a height

Working in containers, silos and confined spaces poses a high safety risk for the employees concerned and is one of the most dangerous activities of all. The limited size of the space, the use of forced postures during work and the difficulty of escaping additionally increase existing hazards. This is why accidents that occur during work in confined spaces and containers, such as suffocation, explosions or electrical accidents, unfortunately often end fatally. As a result, it is imperative that work in confined spaces is not started until the employer or the person in charge has taken all necessary protective measures and issued the permit. It is a prerequisite that the risk assessment for instructing those affected is taken into account. In our training, all potential hazards when driving into containers, silos and confined spaces are analysed and necessary preventive and safety measures are presented in accordance with the current state of the art and technology. Practical examples illustrate the theoretical explanations.
