STOPPA
What is it?
It is a Work Restraint system designed for safe access on top of vehicles and containers. STOPPA starts to protect you from the point when you begin to climb on top of the vehicle/container - the attachment ring providing a secure handhold as you move from the ladder onto the system. Once attached, STOPPA allows you freedom of access to the top of the vehicle/container including all the perimeter edges, however with no risk of falling.
The STOPPA system comes in two parts, hardware attached to the vehicle/container and a Belt providing the user interface. The hardware is formed of a pair of anchor Lines to tested to EN795 and the V–shaped Lanyard tested to EN354 and then the Belt, which is CE certified to EN358. The hardware remains permanently attached to the vehicle/container. Its low profile installation has little or no effect on the overall vehicle/container height, minimising the potential for impact damage and allowing containers to continue to be stacked.
The Belt can be worn whilst carrying out the work activities and stowed safely when not in use.
