Performance claims of some insulation systems manufacturers creating confusion, endangering lives

摘要

Thermal Design (TDI) is the manufacturer of the patented Simple Saver System, a tremendously successful, high-performance insulation system which has been further developed and carefully quality controlled to provide certified alternative fall protection for insulation and roofing workers on metal buildings. TDI is very pleased to announce that its patented product has prevented countless injuries and saved the lives of workers from fall-related accidents. However, as with any successful product, there is confusion being created by counterfeit, look-alike systems that are being sold as "or equals" but allegedly without the fall protection feature. These products cannot be "equal" and "not equal" at the same time! Some contractors are buying these counterfeit systems for pennies per square foot less and sending them to project sites where workers are then using them for fall protection and recklessly endangering people's lives. This is happening despite our policy to sell the legitimate product for the lower quality price where "or equal" claims of the competitor are documented to Thermal Design.
