Addressing the Needs of the Heavier Worker in Fall Protection

摘要

In this interview, Randall Wingfield, president of Gravitec Systems Inc. and chair of the Z359 Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) on Fall Arrest and Protection, explains how those in fall protection are addressing the needs of the heavier worker. Q: Give a brief overview of your professional background and responsibilities. A: As an officer in the military, I was responsible for designing and teaching courses in mountaineering, rock climbing and winter survival. Later, I used these skills to start a mountaineering company. The transition from recreational climbing to industrial fall protection was natural, and I founded Gravitec in 1986. The company specializes in fall protection and rescue.
