Gravity and its related safety hazards never sleep, so crews working at height need to be vigilant about protecting themselves and others. Mountain Productions is helping with an expanded array of fall protection offerings including harnesses, lanyards, fall arrest systems, helmets and more. Their inventory from DBI-SALA includes some of the most trusted fall protection equipment in the industry. Along with DBI-SALA’s extensive product line, they are also now offering Python Safety’s drop prevention products and KASK’s Super Plasma helmets to keep crew members safe on site.
Python Safety Drop Prevention Products
Recently acquired by Capital Safety (DBI-SALA), Python Safety’s Drop Prevention Products are a great addition to our growing inventory of high quality fall protection equipment. Touted with a clever registered trademark, “Fall Protection for Tools,” Python Safety’s products are designed to prevent accidents from tools dropped at height to unsuspecting workers below. Mountain Productions says no other drop prevention company puts as much time and effort into extensive research and third party testing to ensure the integrity of each final product.
The Python Safety brand is diverse and includes attachment points that do not deface or modify a tool, spill control buckets, tool pouches, holsters, tool belts, tethers, and more. Many of these products are used best in conjunction with each other, delivering a comprehensive package that eliminates accidents involving dropped equipment. Specially designed holsters keep important tools like radios and hammers close and secured, yet easy to access. Durable tethers are available with various end fittings, including hooks, carabiners, clips and loops so each application and tool has a corresponding tether that works perfectly. The Python Safety product line is comprehensive enough to meet the needs of any job done at height.
Along with testimonials from the people who have used them, the consulting engineering firm that rigorously tests and inspects the Python Safety brand has vouched for these products. Applied Technical Services (ATS) is ISO 9001 certified and conducts static and dynamic load tests to determine safe working load limits, based on a product’s intended use. Along with technical testing, Python Safety’s inventory is constantly evaluated by a Customer Advisory Council that identifies possible product revisions, reviews new products before they hit the market, and offers insight from actual end-users. This allows Python Safety to stay on the cutting edge of the market and provide user-friendly products that address real-world needs.
Mountain Productions’ fall protection inventory already included a wide range of solutions that address the hazards that gravity poses to a worker’s own safety. The addition of Python Safety’s drop prevention products offers solutions to protect the rest of the crew around the people working at height – allowing Mountain Productions to help insulate the entire work site from gravity-related safety risks.
KASK Super Plasma Helmets
A hard hat is a mandatory safety product that, without question, has saved lives. But just because they are an industry-wide priority doesn’t mean that all helmets are comfortable and optimized for the user’s protection. KASK’s Super Plasma Helmets were designed not only to meet protection from hazards that cause injuries, they were also engineered to maximize comfort. Mountain Productions now distributes both Super Plasma and Hi-Vis Super Plasma Helmets.
Designed specifically for working at heights, KASK’s Super Plasma Helmets are lightweight, tough, and extremely comfortable thanks to quick drying fabric, 10 points of air ventilation, and an innovative adjustment system for easy, yet precise fitting. The Hi-Vis option offers reflective stickers for nighttime visibility and a fluorescent color external shell. External nylon lamp clips make it easy to integrate a headlamp onto a helmet.
KASK’s Super Plasma Helmets meet ANSI Z89.1-2009 / CSA Z94.1-05 safety standards. An outer shell made of high-density ABS plastic withstands significant impact on both the top and sides of the helmet. Four fastening points integrated into the helmet’s chinstrap have a breaking strength more than 50 daN (112.4 pounds), preventing helmet loss in the incident of impact from a fall. The Super Plasma’s durable outer shell is proven to protect the user, while the inner shell also contributes to the overall comfort of this product.
Different types of visors are available as well as internal winter padding, storage bags, replacement padding and adaptor kits, etc. The KASK Super Plasma helmet is a versatile product that not only protects those wearing it, but due to its emphasis on comfort also serves as a solution that won’t distract a worker from focusing on the task at hand.
