In this episode of Werner Tech Talk, Kevin Denis, Werner’s Technical Service Manager, breaks down fall protection requirements and best practices for mobile elevated work platforms (MEWPs)—or as Kevin puts it, simply “lifts.” You’ll learn the key differences between lifts that bounce (like boom lifts and articulating lifts) and those that don’t (like scissor lifts), and why that matters for fall protection. Kevin walks through the regulations from OSHA, EM385, and state programs, and explains when a harness is required—and when it’s not. He also dives into the great debate: Team Lanyard vs. Team SRL (self-retracting lifeline). You’ll get a detailed comparison of both systems, including: -When each is appropriate -How anchor points affect performance -Why Class 2 SRLs are often preferred in lifts -And what to consider if you're governed by EM385 Whether you're a safety manager, trainer, or worker at height, this video will help you make informed decisions about equipment, compliance, and protecting your crew. https://www.wernerco.com/us ------------------ FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/WernerLadderCo Instagram https://www.instagram.com/wernerladderco/ Twitter https://twitter.com/wernerladderco

In this Werner Tech Talk episode, Kevin Denis, Werner’s Technical Service Manager, dives into the complexities of temporary horizontal lifelines—and why they’re not as simple as stringing a rope between two points. Kevin explains how horizontal lifelines differ from vertical systems, especially when it comes to force vectors and anchor loading. You’ll learn: Why horizontal lifelines can generate forces up to 15x greater than the fall arrest force -The importance of using engineered systems instead of makeshift setups -How span length, line tension, and number of users affect anchor requirements -Why all horizontal lifelines must be designed and supervised by a qualified person He also walks through Werner’s engineered rope and cable systems, including: -Built-in high-capacity energy absorbers that limit anchor loads to under 2,500 lbs -Compatibility with standard 5,000 lb anchors -Tensioning methods and clearance estimation using included charts -Connection options using lanyards or SRLs Whether you're a safety professional, site supervisor, or crew member working at height, this video will help you understand how to select and safely use horizontal lifelines on the jobsite. https://www.wernerco.com/us ------------------ FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/WernerSafetyAboveAll Instagram https://www.instagram.com/WernerSafetyAboveAll Twitter https://twitter.com/Werner_Safety

In this Werner Tech Talk episode, Kevin Denis, Werner’s Technical Service Manager, introduces the Straight Loop Insert and Mega Swivel anchorage connector—a clean, durable, and permanent fall protection solution originally developed by ClimbTech and now part of Werner’s safety lineup. Designed for cast-in-place concrete applications, this system offers a high-strength, low-maintenance anchorage point ideal for clean rooms, manufacturing facilities, medical buildings, and other environments where post-construction drilling is not an option. Kevin walks through: -How the Straight Loop Insert is installed before the concrete pour -The benefits of using this system over synthetic or temporary anchors -How the Mega Swivel provides 360° rotation, 180° side-to-side movement, and ANSI/OSHA compliance -Installation tips, torque specs, and clearance requirements -Why this system is ideal for long-term projects or facilities planning for future expansion Whether you're designing a new facility or looking for a cleaner, more durable anchorage solution, this video gives you everything you need to understand and implement the Straight Loop Insert and Mega Swivel system. https://www.wernerco.com/us ------------------- FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/WernerSafetyAboveAll Instagram https://www.instagram.com/WernerSafetyAboveAll Twitter https://twitter.com/Werner_Safety

In this educational Werner Tech Talk, Kevin Denis, Technical Service Manager at Werner Fall Protection, separates fact from fiction when it comes to self-retracting lifelines (SRLs)—a critical component in modern fall protection systems. Kevin addresses common misconceptions and clarifies what SRLs can and can’t do, including: ✅ Why SRLs typically require less clearance than other fall arrest systems ❌ The myth that energy absorbers always fully deploy ❌ Whether SRLs must be serviced annually or replaced after five years ❌ Misunderstandings about new ANSI standards and the August 2023 compliance deadline You’ll also learn about the shift from Class A/B to Class 1 and Class 2 SRLs, and how to choose the right one based on your anchor point location. Whether you're a safety manager, trainer, or worker at height, this video will help you make informed decisions about SRL selection, inspection, and compliance. https://www.wernerco.com/us ------------------- FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/WernerSafetyAboveAll Instagram https://www.instagram.com/WernerSafetyAboveAll Twitter https://twitter.com/Werner_Safety
