2oTrimestre10| PROTECCIÓN LABORAL 63 New Catalogues/Nuevos Catálogos Irudek publishes its 2010 General Catalogue Irudek 2000, S.L., manufacturer and distributor of PPE specialized in fall arrest material, presented its 2010 General Catalogue at Sicur, with 148 pages featuring the extensive product range by the Basque company. The cover layout features a photograph of a worker ascending a high-tension tower, The use of images is one of the powerful languages in this catalogue as Irudek illustrates each of the product segments with quality, large photographs of equipment in context. There are other, smaller photographs sho- wing details, charts, symbols and text offe- ring information, all in a reader-friendly, clear way that even those not in the fall- arrest sector will perfectly understand. The layout and presentation are impecca- ble, and the extension of the product range is also to be appreciated. The 148 pages are divided into three sections: Sekuralt (fall arrest and lifelines), Scott (a brand distributed by Irudek 2000) and Irudek (lanyards, masks and disposable clothing). The introduction pages contain useful information and a brief history of Irudek, stating the company “has been working for over 20 years in the safety sector, specializing in fall arrest systems and lifelines”. With facilities extending over more than 2,000 sq. mt., equipped with state-of-the-art technology and tools, it states, “we are the only Spanish com- pany holding the ISO 9001:2008 certifica- te for the design, manufacture and insta- llation of PPE and lifelines, issued by TÜV Management Service, guaranteeing the quality of all processes”. In addition to general information, Irudek shows how fall arrest systems are cons- tructed, along with explanations about the life cycle, inspections, etc. There is also a simple graphic that shows the typical con- text of work in the heights, with some of the most usual words used (vertical, hori- zontal movement, suspended work, etc.). The concept of “fall factors” is also sum- marized (showing an equation of gravity and variables). • Sekuralt This section of the catalogue features some 40 different products, and is divided into fall arrest systems and lifelines. The products features include harnesses, Seku- ralt systems, helmets, forestry and pru- ning equipment, connection ropes and maintenance, shock absorbers, connec- tors, descending kits, blocking systems, levers, fall arrest systems on ropes, ropes, poles, ladders, etc. The sector featuring lifelines includes, among others, the Sekuralt Lifeline hori- zontal cable lifeline, Sekuralt kit lifeli- ne, Checkline by Sekuralt, galvanized Sekurail Sekuralt horizontal rail lifeli- ne, Highstep Sekuralt system; handrails, rescue chute, etc. • Scott This section in Irudek’s 2010 catalogue features Scott products, all of them benefit- ting from the prestige of this name: hel- mets, face protectors, eye protectors, ear protectors, respiratory protection, powered respiratory protection, gas detectors, etc. • Irudek The third section in the catalogue features ropes, ratchets, disposable masks and dis- posable clothing. The extensive range of products shown is such that we will mention one of the high- lights: Highstep Sekuralt systems, safe and ergonomically designed, allowing users to choose among various ascent/descent modes. The essential component is a main- tenance-free aluminium rail that makes up a portable, servo-assisted ascent/des- cent kit. Irudek has created a number of options: - HighStep Easy by Sekuralt A mechanical model with two steppers or rungs, firmly fixed onto the rail and the feet. The anchorage system is activated by lowering or lifting the heel, and the user may rest whenever necessary. - HighStep Protector fall arrest system by Sekuralt HighStep ascent and descent systems are used in combination with HighStep Protec- tor. The fall arrest equipment worn by the user is connected to this system, which will automatically follow ascent and descent movements at normal speeds. But if des- cent speed is above normal, as in a fall, the system will automatically block on the rail, and protect the user from falling. 117 PARA MÁS INFORMACIÓN, CONTACTE CON: comercial@prensa-tecnica.com // FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, CONTACT: comercial@prensa-tecnica.com
