With the EPIC, advanced electronics enter the world of fall arresters. The first automatic rope management system allows climbing without belay partners. The device is portable and easy to attach to walls or poles. The device is remote controlled. The user can trigger the brake, retract the rope or descend by pressing a button. The EPIC registers a fall immediately and blocks the rope. The EPIC may be used with all SKYLOTEC ropes from 9 mm to 12 mm. But this is not the only highlight, which is presented from SKYLOTEC at the A+A 2013. SKYSAFE PRO, OFFSHORE MASTER, RESCUE PRO 2.0 and the EASY are pioneers in their application areas.   Come and visit us at your booth in hall 6 stand G01 and get it all live in action. Read more

The GWO standard is intended to provide a better level of safety training as regards wind turbine applications.

The sinking of the Titanic is undoubtedly the most well-known example here. As a result of this tragic event, the maritime safety regulations were standardised, and this led to a substantial reduction of the risks in hazardous situations and an increase in the level of safety.
