Collection: Fall Protection Equipment

Improve your safety in confined spaces with MSA’s confined space entry kits!

Our user-friendly confined space fall protection solutions are designed and made with safety on top of mind, and they are extremely useful for work assignments with limited staff, as they can be deployed by just one person in less than 3 minutes without any tools.

The kits include a robust tripod with 4 anchorage points, a handy rescuer that combines an EN360 retractable lifeline with an integrated rescue lift, and optionally a rugged winch. This winch, certified to machinery directive 2006/42/EC, can be used to move up and down tools and other equipment up to 225 Kg. Both the rescuer and the winch are certified to the PPE standard EN 1496 class B, so they can be used to move and rescue workers up to 140Kg.

Our Confined Space Entry Kit with rescuer (ref. 10116521-01) includes a MSA Workman Tripod, a 15m Workman Rescuer, the necessary pulleys and carabiners and a handy Carrying Bag.

Built as the most compact and lightweight personal fall limiter ever developed, the new MSA V-TEC Mini PFL has been designed with user experience and cost of ownership on top of mind.

Using an innovative sealed spring radial energy-absorbing technology, the new design eliminates the need for an external energy-absorber outside of the housing, requiring no additional lubrication which could attract dirt and debris, allowing a time-proof smooth use.

Featuring a highly durable polycarbonate clear casing which allows for easy visual inspection of the critical internal components, the MSA V-TEC Mini PFL is tested for up to 140 Kg withstanding temperatures ranging from -40° to +54° C

A highly ergonomic Twin-leg option is available by a special connector that is positioning two Mini PFLs as close to the user’s back as physically possible, so the equipment is not affecting the user’s center of gravity and therefore not causing discomfort during long work shifts.

The V-TEC Mini is also specifically tested and suitable for use on MEWPs (Mobile Elevating Working platforms) in Europe (Prüfgrundsatz PG -06-07)

Our V-TEC 1,8m PFL is available with many connectors, carabiners and hooks for a wide range of applications.

MSA’s innovative Latchways Constant Force Post was first launched in 2001. Standing the test of time, this product remains unchanged today through robust engineering design, exceptional load control performance and quality material choice.

The MSA Latchways Constant Force post has an integral energy absorbing coil that, in the event of a fall, deploys in a controlled manner to absorb the force generated. In doing so it ensures that the load exerted on the point of attachment will not exceed 10 kN and so allows the post to be fixed to a relatively delicate structure without the additional requirement to attach to structural steel or purlins.

The versatility and ease of use is making the Constant Force Posts the ideal choice for protecting workers as they go about day-to-day activities like maintenance, cleaning, inspection and more. It can be fixed to virtually all types of roofs, including standing-seam roofs, and composite roofs, BUOS roofs, secret fix roofs and bituminous roofs with steel, timber or concrete decks.

The MSA Latchways Constant Force Post has been successfully tested on over 500 different large scale roof samples, proving essential information of how Constant Force systems perform in real life.
