    Welding with Fall Protection

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Due to the increase of infrastructure construction, where fall protection and welding often meet, I thought I’d showcase a few welding fall protection products on the market.

    Anchor: Guardian Beamer 2000 – The metal that makes up this anchor is resistant to welding splatter and fits over I and H beams.

    Retractable: Go with any cable retractable in the work of welding.  Stay away from Web retractables and lanyards (unless otherwise noted to work with welding applications.

    Harness: Safewaze Saturn Welding Harness – This little dynamo is made from Nomex and resists damage from splatter and char up to 700 degrees.  It was made specifically for Welders and the price is way better than Guardian’s Kevlar option.

    So there you have it.  Also don’t forget to check out or recent article on welding safety glasses….
