NATE: The Communications Infrastructure Contractors Association yesterday unveiled a video shining a spotlight on the recent Fall Arrest Lanyard Testing Event that the Safety Equipment Manufacturers Committee (SEMC) held at the University of Dayton Research Institute in Dayton, OH.
The #ClimberConnection video conducts a dive into the SEMC’s protocols and procedures that were implemented to test fall arrest lanyards by replicating how they are utilized by technicians in the field at tower sites. Nineteen fall arrest lanyards from the different industry manufacturers were used to perform each of the five separate drop scenarios throughout the two-day event.
“This video does a great job of breaking down the comprehensive nature and the technical steps involved in the SEMC’s recent Fall Arrest Lanyard Testing Event,” said NATE Board of Directors member Bryan Lee. “The NATE SEMC’s mission is to test equipment based on how it functions in real-world, field-based environments and our dedicated group of subject matter experts were successful at this testing event due to our common goal of keeping elevated workers safe at heights in the communications infrastructure industry,” added Lee.
