Arco launch working at height equipment range

Company’s safety services experts help design and develop Arco’s new own-brand offering

SAFETY specialists Arco have launched their own range of working at height equipment, designed and developed with experts from their safety services division, along with their fall protection manufacturing partners.

The new range introduces an own-brand offering to add to the wide selection of fall-protection equipment Arco already offer from some of the biggest brands in the safety industry.

The range features 17 products, including safety harnesses; anchorage slings; arrest, restraint and positioning lanyards; and self-retracting blocks, all designed to keep workers safe when carrying out tasks at height and in confined spaces.

The harnesses and lanyard are used together to prevent accidents when there is a risk of a fall from any height. The self-retracting blocks are designed for lower-height applications, instantly locking on impact to prevent falls.

Arco Professional Safety Services experts are already using the new equipment in the field and when delivering training courses at the company’s five safety centres across the UK.

Mike Clayton, technical lead for working at height at Arco Professional Safety Services, said: ‘The new Arco working at height equipment range has been designed and developed with help from our own experts to bring total assurance and quality to the safety products market.

‘Arco lead the market in working at height expertise with our joined-up safety solutions tailoring the perfect combination of products and services.

‘Bringing our own working at height product range to the market furthers this offering, with another avenue for our core purpose, keeping people at work safe.’

Falling from height is the most common cause of death in the workplace, accounting for 36% of fatal injuries in 2023/24, according to recent HSE statistics.

As a trusted safety provider with 140 years of experience, Arco offer working at height equipment for sale and hire, as well as safety solutions such as consultancy, training, and equipment maintenance services through their Arco Professional Safety Services division.
