What is tool tethering?

Tool tethering is a safety measure applied to alleviate the risk of tools and equipment being accidentally dropped when working at height. An effective tool tethering solution requires a tether point on the tool and an anchor point attached either to the worker, or a scaffolding tool belt or frog. A tool lanyard is then used to connect the anchor point to the tool to prevent it from being dropped.

According to the Health and Safety Executive, being struck by falling objects is one of the biggest causes of fatalities in UK workplaces. If the right precautions aren’t taken, working at height can be just as dangerous to those site workers or members of the public on the ground. A free-falling hammer could easily fall onto an unsuspecting victim below with devastating consequences.

Russell Tennent, Managing Director at Leach’s, said of the partnership, “The impact of dropped tools is severe, and we’re always looking for more ways to improve the safety of all on-site. That’s why we’re thrilled to now provide NLG tool safety products. We chose to partner with NLG and stock its range due to the quality and versatility it offers, giving our customers the ability to tether almost any tool, dramatically improving safety on site and preventing the risk of dropped tools.”
