------------------------------------------

Carrying out work at height involves a series of significant risks for all professionals, who must be protected from hazards directly related to their specific activity, but at the same time must be protected against the possibility of a fall from a different height, which is one of the greatest dangers for all operatives who carry out their work on scaffolding or structures above two metres in height, in confined spaces or underground in excavations or trenches. For this reason, every worker must have appropriate Personal Protective Equipment, as well as an efficient fall arrest system and various components such as the Scaffolding hook Ø83mm steel, automatic double safety closure.

The Scaffolding hook Ø83mm steel, automatic double safety closure, which as its name indicates is designed to connect fall protection safety devices to scaffolding, is manufactured from galvanised steel, with dimensions of 330 x 155 mm, a weight of 820 grammes and an opening of 83 mm. Its minimum static resistance is 20 kN and it complies with EN 362 standard.

The main function of this type of hook is to allow the various components that make up the fall arrest system to be hooked to the scaffolding in an efficient and safe manner to provide adequate protection to the professional, who will thus be able to perform their duties with a greater degree of confidence and safety.

This type of hook are connectors that should preferably have an automatic and secure closure. These components must not have any sharp or rough edges that could cause wear through friction, cutting or damage in any way to the ropes used or prevent damage to the worker. The double safety incorporated into this model is useful as it prevents the worker from inadvertently opening the device, which would create a risk situation from a fall at a different height.

It is important that all elements used in the workplace, especially those related to work at height, are always in perfect condition, bearing in mind that in these situations a safety failure could cause an accident that may have high severity.
