Masters of Fall Protection Solutions.
Our mission centres on assisting you in establishing robust fall protection solutions and safe working environments at elevated heights in strict accordance with prevailing regulations. We have assembled a proficient team of engineers and technical consultants with extensive experience to accomplish this.
Our team and network of partners are fully equipped to guide you through every phase of your project, from initial risk assessment to project completion. This encompasses identifying potential risks, conducting site surveys, designing custom fall arrest systems, selecting appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), on-site installation and assembly, system certification, and a wide range of additional support services tailored to your specific needs.
We are committed to being your reliable ally in achieving and maintaining height-safe work environments.
Our personnel are trained in the latest fall protection equipment and safety standards; ensuring your fall protection system is of the highest quality and the risk to your workforce is kept to a minimum.
TRAINING
PROCESS
At JAD Safe Reach, we understand that the mining and other heavy industrial sectors present the most demanding challenges that any product can be expected to endure.
RISK IDENTIFICATION
Identify work areas, assess fall hazards, and evaluate severity.
SYSTEM DESIGN
Address the unsafe working areas identified by the risk assessment. Develop a tailored access and fall protection system, considering equipment needs.
EQUIPMENT SELECTION
Keeping system parameters/ design in mind, the correct equipment for the tasks at hand are selected.
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
Ensure system aligns with safety regulations and standards.
DESIGN REVIEW
Internal and client review ensuring all client needs are met.
INSTALLATION
Safely install access stairs/ walkways, guardrails, anchors and lifelines per design specifications. Certificate of Compliance for the completed works.
In addition to the above process for a new fall protection system, the below is also necessary to maintain the safety of a fall protection system.
PLANT COMPLIANCE
This involves the gathering of information of all the fall protection points. Ensuring they have approved designs, an inspection history and future inspection dates.
REGULAR INSPECTION
In addition to the visual check carried out before and after use. Equipment and systems must be checked and inspected by a competent person at least once a year.
MAINTENANCE & REPAIR
Professional maintenance and equipment repair are a key part of fall protection. Equipment that is worn, broken, or exceeds recommended maintenance threshold requires professional maintenance which can be conducted by JAD Safe Reach.
ACCESS
At JAD Safe Reach, we understand that the mining and other heavy industrial sectors present the most demanding challenges that any product can be expected to endure. This knowledge is built into our access platform designs, ensuring a final product with longevity.
With the ability to accurately 3D scan the structure/ equipment that requires access, we can confidently provide the safest solution that will not clash with the existing one.
ANCHOR POINTS
Anchor Points are used to fix or connect fall arrest equipment to a specific structure. The anchor must guarantee an adequate resistance to stop a fall. It must be located at a sufficient height, so that the worker does not encounter the lower level in the event of a fall.
At JAD Safe Reach we make it easy for you, we help you comply with the standards and regulations. Not only do we assist with the best anchor point for your needs, but we ensure the structure the anchor connects to also meets the requirements.
LIFE LINES
Every day, workers worldwide climb ladders to great heights to get their job done. Lifelines allow personnel to move safely both horizontally and vertically, ensuring all necessary areas can be accessed safely.
JAD Safe Reach takes the ability of lifelines a step further by combining them with jib booms, traveling bridges and tracks (including supporting structure), for safe access around areas such as truck beds, atop conveyor belts and train cars.
THE HIERARCHY OF
FALL PROTECTION
THE 4 FOCUS POINTS FOR SAFE REACH
Risk identification involves a site survey, technical report and solutions recommendation. We audit the different types of work that your personnel perform (working on platforms, truck beds, conveyor gantries, chutes, etc.). A detailed technical report will be crafted outlining the collective and individual protection measures that should be implemented to support the safety of working at heights.
Facility Design
Systems are designed according to customer requirements, relevant standards and OEM criteria. Designs that need to tie into existing structures such as anchor points, are well with-in our capabilities, as we have the skills necessary to analysis the existing structures ensuring safety factors are met or where additional strength is required. Complete drawings and bill of materials are also generated.
Product Selection
Let us assist with specifying the most suitable fall protection products for your needs. Products that meet or exceed the world’s most rigorous standards and codes, providing you with the maximum confidence in your new fall protection system. Expertise in anchors, lifelines, fall arrest harnesses, connectors and much more.
Installation & Manufacturing
After acceptance of the design, which is thoroughly reviewed with the client. JAD Safe Reach is able to assist with the manufacture, installation and test verification of the fall protection systems. We want to provide you with the utmost performance, profitability and professionalism when it comes to fall from height prevention!
FAQ'S ON SAFE REACH
Yes, we operate throughout South Africa and across the entire African continent. Our presence and services extend to various regions and countries within Africa, ensuring that we can meet the needs of our customers across the continent.
Yes. Since working at height poses risks to workers, it remains one of the biggest causes of fatalities and serious injuries, especially when there are lacking or no precautions in place to help prioritize worker safety. Hence, a thorough risk assessment is a must for this type of risky job.
Working at height which can result to falling is mainly considered a safety hazard. Situations wherein site workers and office employees are exposed to the risk of potentially losing their balance or bodily support can lead to accidents and serious injuries.
Some of the safety measures that can be implemented to minimize the potential hazards during work at heights include conducting a risk assessment, giving workers proper training, using appropriate PPEs, providing the right equipment, eliminating other potential hazards, and encouraging open communication among team members and supervisors.
A risk assessment should be done before performing a working-at-height task, allowing enough time to identify potential risks, evaluate their severity, and implement appropriate control measures. By doing this, any necessary safety precautions can be put in place to minimize the risk of accidents or injuries occurring during the work at height.
The most common hazards associated with working at height include the following: Falling Inadequate risk assessment Defective Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Incorrect use of or faulty ladders Lack of training and experience Platform collapse Bad weather conditions Falling objects A detailed technical report will be crafted outlining the collective and individual protection measures that should be implemented to support the safety of working at heights.
