REPEL technology fall protection range

DBI-SALA, a Capital Safety brand solely dedicated to the fall protection market, has announced the launch of their new REPEL technology webbing fall protection range. The REPEL range of products are constructed from a specially designed textile called REPEL technology webbing. This unique webbing provides a large number of advantages over traditional webbing products used for fall protection. The technology in the finish forms a fine textile shell that is characterised by a high level of water resistance, a natural-self cleaning effect and a durable protective function. Water or other substances such as oil or dirt simply run off its surface.

The REPEL fall protection range is made up of Delta REPEL full body harnesses, Force2 REPEL shock absorbing lanyards and REPEL pole straps. The range incorporates a diverse group of products that caters for a broad range of work applications and needs in the workplace. Industries dealing with Water & Sewerage, Abattoirs, Electrical Utilities, Mining, Oil & Gas and any environment exposed to harsh, wet or tropical conditions will benefit by using the REPEL technology range of products.

"REPEL is an exciting new development in fall protection, enabling users in a wide range of industries to reap the benefits," says Andrew Sweeney, National Utilities Manager for Capital Safety, Australia and New Zealand. "Capital Safety has developed a world first applying this revolutionary technology to fall protection, confirming our commitment to continuous innovation in product development."

The REPEL technology fall protection range provides extreme durability with up to five times more abrasion resistance than any other full body harness, shock absorbing lanyard or pole strap on the market today. The long-lasting webbing allows the products to stay in service longer in even the harshest environments, while the water repelling properties prevent absorption of water, keeping them lightweight and comfortable all day long, for the entire service life of the product.

All of the products in the REPEL technology fall protection range meets the strict requirements of the AS/NZS 1891.1:2007 standard.

DBI-SALA's i-Safe intelligent safety system utilising RFID technology is built into each product in the REPEL technology fall protection range to track inspections, control inventory and manage information.
