Common questions about height safety, lifting and load control
Q1: What is a Tension Force Indicator and how does it work?
A: A Tension Force Indicator (TFI) is a visual gauge fitted to load restraint equipment such as ratchet tie-downs. It shows the operator the actual tension applied to a strap, removing the guesswork from securing a load. SpanSet's patented TFI helps transport and logistics teams confirm their load meets the tension required by load restraint guidelines, improving both safety and compliance on every trip.
Q2: What does AS/NZS 1891 require for height safety harnesses?
A: AS/NZS 1891 is the Australian and New Zealand standard covering industrial fall arrest systems, including harnesses, lanyards and fittings. It sets requirements for design, strength, testing and labelling to ensure equipment can safely arrest a fall and support a worker until rescue. SpanSet harnesses, including the ERGO iPlus range, are engineered to meet and exceed these requirements for use across construction, utilities, oil and gas, and wind energy sites.
Q3: Synthetic slings vs chain slings: which is right for my lift?
A: Synthetic slings are lighter, more flexible and gentler on load surfaces, making them ideal for delicate or irregularly shaped loads and for teams that need to move gear quickly between lifts. Chain slings generally suit high-heat or abrasive environments where durability against sharp edges matters more than weight. SpanSet, as the original inventor of the synthetic round sling, manufactures heavy duty flat and round slings rated for demanding industrial lifts, each clearly labelled for working load limit.
Q4: Do exoskeletons actually reduce workplace injury risk?
A: Wearable ergonomic exoskeletons, such as the Auxivo range, redistribute the physical load of repetitive lifting and carrying away from the lower back and shoulders. By acting as an external support during manual handling tasks, they help reduce muscle fatigue over a shift, which is a key factor in preventing musculoskeletal injuries. SpanSet supplies the Auxivo CarrySuit and LiftSuit to Australian businesses looking to lower manual handling risk without electrical or battery components.
