The deaths and serious injuries in the construction industry has made TRAC International Pty Ltd , an Australian owned company, to promote the Australian designed and manufactured height safety equipment and training.
Andrew Rogelja from TRAC international has been in the business for over 25 years and says that many deaths and serious injuries could be prevented in working at heights such as industrial rope access, rigging tower communications, building maintenance and window cleaning.
Such unpleasant incidents need not have occurred or injuries reduced in severity, if the basic principles of the TRAC system were followed. Andrew designed the Technical Rope Access Concept (TRAC) over 20 years ago and to date maintains a 100% safety record.
The TRAC system was also approved as a safe method of rope access by WorkCover in 1993 and received a mining and construction industry safety innovation award.
The TRAC system is used by defence personnel, vertical rescue, mines rescue, tower rescue and industrial rope access personnel in various parts of the world.
