Safety rail systems and lights monitoring to reach higher standards of safety on large S/Y

Share:

With today’s greater awareness of workplace risks, boat builders and surveyors are seeking to ensure a high standard of safety by specifying systems that are purpose designed, tested, and standards-approved. 

Track and car systems and single point anchorage systems have long been used to provide a mobile attachment point for crew, such as when working outside of conventional guardrails when cleaning the hull, superstructure, and windows of large motor yachts and other vessels.

Fall protection systems

Ronstan’s fall protection systems provide a value method of attachment for use in conjunction with personal protection equipment to protect against falls from a height. All these systems, which can only improve the safety and security of the persons in their everyday work, have been tested to the relevant European and Australian Standards.

Anchor device

A reliable anchor device is another essential component of any personal protection system. For this reason, Ronstan offers a certified and removable padeye that provides a safe method of attachment to protect against falls from a height.

A system to monitor navigation lights

Talking about safety onboard, also a reliable and precise monitoring of navigation lights is needed; Lopolight produces and supplies control panels that signal any light failures and automatically activate a secondary light, in order to guarantee continuity of service and safety at sea during navigation. 

Lopolight also offers a broad range of navigation light control and monitoring solutions that satisfies the needs of any maritime professional and any vessel of any size. 

All systems are modular, allowing you to select required modules, whilst maintaining the safety of the ship and compliance with the relevant rules and standards.
