Keeping Employees Safe With Gorbel Tether Track™ Monorail System
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Background
Employees need to go on top of the rail cars to fill the rail cars as well as to take samples of the plastic pellets that have been extruded from post-consumer and post-industrial plastics. A fall protection system was needed to keep their employees safe.
The Problem
Railroad height requirements had the Gorbel distributor searching for an innovative custom solution to work under the canopy where the workers filled the cars.
The Solution
A Gorbel Tether Track™ Monorail system was chosen as the best option and by notching the canopy beams, the track was able to be raised up into the girder underneath.

Fall Arrest: Insights and Ideas for Workplace Compliance
How to engineer the right solution for you
Maximum Arresting Force (or M.A.F.) is a term you will hear frequently used in association with fall protection, so it’s better to understand the term before you encounter it (if you’ve already encountered it, better late than never!). In simple terms, M.A.F. is exactly what it sounds like: the maximum amount of force produced on your body as your fall is being arrested.
Gorbel, turned to several industry experts to help clarify some of these issues. The complete findings, and potential solutions, are found in the ebook, "Fall Arrest: Insights and Ideas for Workplace Compliance," This article provides a summary of common issues, as well as solutions.

Latest In Ergonomics and Safety
Alleviating the Risk from Above
By Jerry Laws Mar 01, 2017
Head and face protection begins with hard hats. An OSHA enforcement action1 just two weeks into 2017 illustrates why it doesn't end there. OSHA cited a Massachusetts auto parts company for more than a dozen serious violations and issued $27,157 in proposed penalties after an employee suffered fatal head injuries while trying to mount a multi-piece rim wheel on a vehicle in October 2016. The case involved much more than PPE alone—there were violations2 of training, personal protective equipment, electrical safety, exit route signage, powered industrial truck, and HazCom regulations, according to the agency's Braintree, Mass., office.
