An effective way to prevent future fall accidents is to understand how an accident occurred. Often, fall accidents are the result of fall protection equipment misuse or lack thereof, but injuries and fatalities may also be the result of product failure.
Accident investigation is used to not only support litigation but to avoid further accidents. Investigation allows companies to uncover fall hazards that may have been overlooked previously and identify where additional controls are needed.
Gravitec offers independent forensic analysis and testing services to identify root causes and contributing factors of a fall accident. Gravitec fall protection experts will investigate the accident and provide expert witness testimony. Our highly qualified engineering staff reviews the evidence and integrates outside design parameters to reconstruct the accident and establish what happened. Gravitec will also provide corrective measures (whether PPE, training or engineering needs) to prevent a reoccurrence.
Our approach to fall protection product testing is based on years of experience in the industry and nationally recognized methodologies for conformance and quality testing.
