The new EU regulation for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE regulation) has now placed increasing demands on manufacturers. Its area of application is overall more comprehensive than before. For example, the complete supply chain is taken into account when considering the traceability of products. Distributors may therefore be equally under obligation as manufacturers and must keep a full record of the PPE which they deal with. However, this is where SKYLOTEC can provide useful assistance. The experts for fall protection equipment offer with their “Homebase” a free-of-charge and detailed administration tool which can be maintained online.

Inconspicuous, but indispensable as part of the personal protective equipment against falls from a height – these are essential properties of lanyards with integrated shock absorbers. In the event of a fall, they minimise the forces that occur and thus the risk of serious injury. Such lanyards are also part of SKYLOTEC's product range, such as the “Skysafe Pro”. The manufacturer of fall protection systems has now developed this further and presents “Skysafe Pro+”, a new lanyard series with an integrated shock absorber, the size of which has been reduced by 50 % compared to the previous version. In addition, the lanyard is suitable for a weight range of 50 to 150 kilograms.
