1erTrimestre12 | PROTECCIÓN LABORAL 70 Trade reports manager of PSA Secure states that “it is very important the coverage that we give to our clients in reviewing and training equipment worldwide, either directly in Europe or through partner companies in many other countries. On the one hand, it speeds the review process because the com- panies are located in the destination coun- try what makes no necessary to have to move personnel there or having to trans- port the material to another country. In addition, travel and transportation expenses are reduced, and more to the point the review period is also lowered. Finally the company in the country will always be aware of current legislation and possible changes therein, which tends to reduce the setbacks that other manufac- turers usually find when they come to new markets whose rules do not know”. Equipment unscathed to environmental conditions There is no doubt that maintaining safety equipment for working at heights is a vital aspect, which is not always available to companies. It is needless to describe the multitude of safety problems that will cause poorly maintained equipment, putting at serious risk the lives of users. The best way to maintain the equipment between uses is to preserve it in a vacuum packaging inert medium and housed in sealed metal boxes. The excellent results delivered by this sys- tem encourage to Guillermo Beltran to “continuously emphasize the importance of heat-seal packaging of the product, with a humidity controller, in order to simplify and reduce the number of revisions and the time spent. Moreover, as the material is better protected, we avoid almost 100% loss of materials, oxidation and breakage. Therefore, although the acquisition cost is higher, there is a saving from the first or second review”. German subsidiary of the PSA-Sicherheit- stechnik Gmbh & Co., PSA Secure was founded in 1989 focused exclusively on PPE for work at height. Its products, oper- ating in sectors as diverse as wind, electri- cal, marine, petroleum, respond to the pol- icy of the company to listen, and under- stand the needs of the client. The company, which has experienced steady growth over the last five years, markets the product of the parent firm all over the world, having a leading market share of the European Union, United States, Asia, etc. 113
