Personal protective equipment (PPE)

The reliable connection between the user and the fall protection system

Your custom fall protection system:
Working at heights without risk thanks to PPE

When performing installation, servicing, and other work at heights, professionals must go beyond guardrails and other collective protective measures to reach their destination. A fall (from a height) from these often dizzying heights would be fatal! For this reason, we at INNOTECH have developed various components of personal protective equipment for fall protection.

Our customer satisfaction proves it: Our customized solutions provide reliable safety for your employees and ensure a smooth workflow in your company.

Whether on roofs, scaffolding, or facades—our personal protective equipment against falls from a height (PPE) is essential for the individual safety of your employees!

To the inquiry overview

A fall protection system with belts as personal protective equipment

Depending on the application, choosing the right PPE STRINGS is one of the most important factors when working in areas with a risk of falling. For this reason, we at INNOTECH offer four harness systems and a special airbag vest in our product range.

EASY

The PSA-STRING-1-EASY model features fall arrest loops at both the front and back, making it ideal for all applications where fall protection is required.

BASIC

Even in the basic version PSA-STRING-1-BASIC , this harness model features all necessary and required safety features and is ideal for occasional use.

COMFORT

General-purpose tasks that need to be performed on a regular basis require the Comfort model. The PSA-STRING-1-COMFORT is the perfect companion even for slightly longer assignments.

PRO

Our Pro model is designed for facade builders and industrial climbers and is intended for continuous use. The robust PSA-STRING-1-PRO safety harness ensures optimal freedom of movement and offers a high level of comfort.

WORKAIR Vest

There are situations in which it is not practical to use a safety belt for proper fall protection—for example, when the fall height is low. The PSA-STRING-WORKAIR uses sensors to detect a fall and deploys the integrated airbag.

To get complete equipment right away, we offer you the PSA-SET-BASIC for general-purpose work and the PSA-SET-ROOF for work on pitched roofs!

LiSA Integration


The Comfort and Pro models are equipped with the Life Safety System (LiSA). This is a system certified by TÜV Austria that uses an NFC chip or QR code integrated into the belt to verify whether maintenance intervals have been adhered to.

FALLSLIP System


The Pro model is equipped with our innovative FALLSLIP system. In the event of a fall, this special safety system prevents the belt from slipping, thereby providing additional protection for the kidneys and rib cage against injury.

FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions

What is personal protective equipment?

INNOTECH’s personal protective equipment (PPE) includes all items of equipment that employees wear or use while working to protect themselves from the risk of falling (from a height). This includes, for example, harness systems,PPE lanyards, and associated equipment such as a sturdy helmet. PPE for fall protection is always required when no general fall protection systems are in place or when hazards cannot be avoided by such systems.

What does personal protective equipment (PPE) for fall (from a height) include?

INNOTECH offers a variety of components for a comprehensive PPE system. These include PPE harnesses, essential accessories such as hard hats, and PPE lanyards, which connect the personal protective equipment to the anchor points. Our experts also install the necessary rope / cable and rail systems.

When does PPE need to be replaced?

It is essential to inspect the PPE for visible damage, such as tears, before each use. If any defects are found during this inspection, the PPE must not be used under any circumstances! In addition, an inspection must be conducted at least once a year by a qualified person. The instructions in the user manual must also be followed—this is the only way to ensure safety when working at heights using fall protection equipment.

When should fall protection PPE be used?

Personal protective equipment against falls from a height is always used when collective protective measures are lacking or insufficient to eliminate the hazard. Since a fall from a height of two meters poses an acute danger to life and limb, appropriate fall protection is required by law at this height and above.

What are the storage requirements for PPE?

The same applies to the storage of protective equipment: Be sure to follow the instructions in the manual! In general, it is important to choose a cool, dry, and, above all, clean place to store PPE in order to prevent contamination or damage. When storing belts, you should also ensure that they do not become tangled. We therefore recommend hanging them or storing them flat. Heavy objects should never be placed on the belts.

Do I need training on how to use PPE?

Yes, only individuals who have been trained in the use of fall protection systems are permitted to use them. Training is essential for the proper use of these systems and is required by law.

How often does PPE need to be inspected?

A test by a qualified person must be conducted once a year; however, the user must always inspect all components of the PPE before each use. If cracks, deformations, or other defects are found, the PPE in question must no longer be used!

Fall Protection System Using Rail and Rope Systems

Rail and rope systems play a central role in personal fall protection—they serve as the link between the user and the safety system. By attaching the PPE to the rail or rope / cable, they enable horizontal, vertical, or inclined movement in hazardous areas. Both rope / cable and rail systems can be installed on various surfaces—from concrete to steel to wood—and can also be attached to substructures.

Rope systems

Horizontally or vertically tensioned ropes / cables provide a high degree of flexibility and adapt perfectly to your building structures. In addition to roofs, they are also frequently used in industrial buildings. Safety during movement along the stainless steel cable is ensured by a connector attached to the belt.


Rope Systems

Rail systems

In these systems, personal protective equipment is attached to anchorage rails using connecting elements. These systems are characterized by their ability to be used vertically and/or horizontally, thereby allowing for a combination of directions when moving from one level to another. Securing workers from the ground up via ladders and access platforms works just as smoothly as on roofs. Securing workstations via stairways is also no problem. The high stability of the rails also allows for use in particularly challenging environments, such as on building facades.
