WESTMARK Cablesafe 6″ 9″ 12″ Safety S-shaped Hook, Netherlands

A clean work floor improves safety on decks, stairs, scaffolding and other structures and contributes to a safer environment also during shutdown and turnaround works. Disorder on the workshop floor during building and maintenance works can lead to accidents which in certain cases may result in long term absence due to injury with the possible consequence of liability action being taken. More than 20% of accidents are the result of falls caused by tripping over electrical cables, welding cables, fire hoses, air hoses etc spread over decks and work floors. Such accidents can easily be avoided by using the Cablesafe to suspend all cables, extension cords, wires and hoses away from the floor.

For that purpose Westmark developed the ‘S’ shaped safety hook Cablesafe, which has been adopted numerous oil companies and drilling contractors. The hooks are produced from very strong, non-conductive and non-flammable reinforced polyester and can bed used repeatedly. They are designed to suspend temporary utlity cables for the duration of a turnaround program. The hooks can carry a load up to 190 kg, withstand temperatures from -20ºC to 200ºC and are UV-resistant.

Since the hooks are non-conductive there will be less interruption of work due to short circuit and the danger of electrification will be reduces significantly.

To avoid confusion among different contractors about the ownership of hooks it is possible to obtain a different colour and to have the owners name engraved in the hook.

There are 3 sizes available to accomodate maximum allowed load: 6″ for 40 kg, 9″ for 55 kg and 12″ for 190 kg.

Each end of the hook has a hole that enables the user to save guard the hooks and cables by means of a Tie-rap.
