Has safety ever been just a minor talking point in any industry? No, it hasn’t. So far it seems that 2020 will prove no exception to that rule. Instead, it looks like the importance of safety and (fall) prevention will grow to become larger than life in the near future – and with very good reason. Today’s eyes are on the known industry leaders as we expect them to take up a leading role in helping to raise safety awareness.

Wiese Europe de Brecht (Sint-Job-in-‘t‑Goor) en Campine est spécialisée dans la fabrication de systèmes pour le transfert de gaz et de liquides. L’entreprise construit des bras de chargement mais aussi des solutions de sécurité collectives antichute comme des nacelles de sécurité, des escaliers abattants et des garde-corps. L’usage de la pneumatique et de l’hydraulique s’avère crucial.

Statistics show that around 15% of all industrial accidents are related to working at height, and almost a third of these are caused by a fall of over 2.5m in height. Any technology that can minimise these risks is surely worth considering. Wiese Europe has developed multiple safety systems to help prevent these industrial accidents.
