Description
Tethering of tools is a way of preventing them from falling or being dropped during use. Tool tethering is attaching the tools used to the person using them, or for heavier tools, then they are tethered to a fixed anchor point. It is a simple and very effective way to prevent injuries and fatalities.
tools at height continue to be a major cause of workplace injuries and fatalities. Dropped objects are basically a killer on the loose.
Often companies take measures to reduce the damage caused by falling objects rather that preventing them from falling in the first place, which is the wrong approach.
This toolbox talk helps keep employees safe and reduce health and safety issues in workplaces with work at height and where ladders and similar is used.
