Hi Guys
Gin wheels are contained within the LOLER context, so really this accident should never of occured.
The potential scope of LOLER is extremely wide covering any equipment used at work for lifting or lowering loads including attachments used for anchoring, fixing or supporting it. Lifting equipment includes such equipment as cranes, forklift trucks, goods lifts, construction site hoists, mobile elevating work platforms, vehicle inspection hoists, gin wheels, ropes, chain, slings, eye bolts, etc.
RE: Harness
I have had the experiance ( several times ) where one of my leg straps have come undone while bending over, this comes about by the wearing of my belt on top of my harness, for this reason, as i dont know. and i have seen nothing to say otherwise. Should the Harness be worn over the tool belt?
A straw poll of the forum, would be interesting, Over or Under.
