Profile

As a worldwide leader in fall protection equipment, Capital Safety Group not only offers a wide range of products and systems but also solutions (side-entry confined space, intrinsically safe fall arrest, compact sealed blocks, etc.) and services (such as survey, maintenance and block recertification and repair, and training and advising).
Capital Safety Group benefits from over 60 years of experience and expertise to guarantee even more security and comfort to protect workers from falls when working at height.
Fall protection equipment
Working at height and in confined space is a risky business. Combine this with working in a potentially explosive atmosphere and specific assessment is required to eliminate dangers. This explosive atmosphere requires ATEX equipment including fall protection equipment. Capital Safety has introduced a full range of ATEX-certified fall protection equipment designed and manufactured to meet European ATEX directives.
In twelve years, the oil and gas industry has come a long way in protecting workers from falls. The next hurdle to overcome is training. Comprehensive training programmes should be provided for all workers using the equipment; a ten-minute doghouse talk just doesn't cut it. Even workers trained in the use of fall protection equipment can make mistakes or skip donning a harness and tying off to complete a quick task. The thing to remember is that falls, like car accidents, don't discriminate. They can occur at the most familiar locations at any time because workers and drivers alike let their guard down.
Fall protection training courses
Capital Safety offers fall protection training courses for all levels. Its new programmes will educate participants on the requirements of the new standard and provide practical, hands-on experience. Training programmes are available to meet the requirements of authorised and competent person / rescuer, programme administrator, qualified person as well as inspection, confined space, climbing and trainer courses.
Capital Safety's training courses engage the participant. By creating courses that demand active participation, the student becomes involved in the learning process, increasing comprehension and retention. Capital Safety provides application and employer-specific training by providing a variety of core training programmes and supplementing them with custom training. Training courses are provided either in our training centres or onsite.
Capital Safety provides more than just products; it offers absolute confidence:

New sloped-line escape systems
Man-rated tuggers (winch lines) and / or new tension / load limiters that can be used to safely raise workers to difficult access areas on the derrick
Rig floor / deck horizontal lifeline systems to be used during rig up and down while guardrails are removed
