Injuries from handling, lifting or carrying loads is one of the most common type of accident in the offshore industry. The successful management of these risks is achieved through the introduction of hands-free safety tools. Sometimes in the course of their duties, riggers cannot avoid getting under suspended load, or at least in the load shadow (the area under the load into which that load could fall and cause fatality), and it is usually because they need to catch onto the tagline to guide the lifted load into landing position. The PSC Tagline Retriever Tool allows a worker to be at a much safer distance from the load when suspended and freely grasp and handle the tagline while remaining outside the line of fire of objects and the suspended load.
