Standards and Planning Notes
For Malaysia and Singapore projects, fall protection equipment should be selected through a work-at-height risk assessment, checked against relevant EN/ANSI/Singapore Standard references where applicable, and supported by inspection records. Malaysia buyers should also confirm DOSH/SIRIM KPD documentation for safety harnesses, lifelines and related components where required.
Common Questions
Can this be used alone?
Fall protection products should not be treated as standalone protection unless the full system is compatible. Check the harness, connector, anchor, fall clearance, training and rescue procedure together.
Can I request datasheets or suitable alternatives?
Yes. Contact Safetyware to compare specifications, documentation, sizing or site-appropriate alternatives.
