Cabloc Vertical Fall Arrest at Kemsley Mill

A Cabloc vertical fall arrest system has been installed at Kemsley Mill in Kent to provide safe access for maintenance purposes to the towers which house the Mill's CCTV and lighting systems.

As with many of today's modern sites, CCTV cameras and floodlighting are strategically placed around the mill to provide a safe working environment. However the provision of the systems lead to a further health and safety issue, how to ensure safe maintenance of the equipment. Cabloc provides total safety when access to the towers is required.

The fall arrest system's cable is clamped to the top of the tower with an impact shock absorber and then at regular intervals along the length of the system. Should an operative fall then the shock absorber will absorb the energy caused by the fall, preventing serious injury.
